Many flight schools can sponsor a J-1 visa. There are so many foriegn
students in the pattern around here that I sometimes wonder if I'm in the
US. I'm not familiar with MA schools, but most schools run about $25k for a
full professional pilot course(not including housing, meals, or travel
expenses). The course can be stretched out over a couple of years. He will
have to exit the US when his training is complete.
