Are you hour building or flight training???
If you have your licenses & ratings already, I suggest finding a cheap
block rental price at a school or locating a good reasonable flying club.
There are several clubs in San Diego that have very reasonable rates
($70-75/hr for a 172). Check out these two large ones as a referance:

http://www.goldenwingsflyingclub.com/
If you are still flight training, go to this site:
www.Private2ATP.com
They have thousands of U.S. flight school listings and a message board as
well. Plus, you should also visit the message forums on these very popular
US pilot websites:
www.jetcareers.com
www.flightinfo.com
Pretty much anyone in the aviation industry here has heard of
FlightInfo.com and Jetcareers is becoming HUGE. Their boards will be very
helpful.
