Picking a flight school

I agree with what Bob said. I trained at Hanscom Field (BED) just under
the Boston shelf and have never had reason to regret it. Learning at a
larger controlled field will complicate things initially but equip you
better for the long run especially if you're going to go on to bigger
things.

As for ground delays, you will find that many of the larger fields are
pretty quiet during the middle of the day so if you have any
flexibility you should take advantage of that. If it makes you feel any
better keep in mind that all that time you spend on the ground can be
logged so you're not ****ing money completely down the drain
