Right now, if I was starting from scratch I would no longer even
consider the US for flight training. I'd go to Canada during the
summertime.

With all the TSA fees plus now you'd be forced to go to only certain
certificate mill schools due to visa restrictions, and you'd have to
deal with the US embassy to get a visa (which is a royal pain in the
arse), it would actually be cheaper to learn to fly in the south of
France, where the weather is at least reliable.

Never thought I'd see the day where aviation is more free in the EU than
it is in the US, but it's happening.
