Sirs and Madames,
Before I start I must apologise for posting the usual 'I've read everything and searched, but Im different...' thread. But here goes.
I'm coming to the end of my ppl which Im doing at a certain companies 'sattelite' centre:hmm:. I now want to identify where im going to do my ATPL theory, ME CPL and IR. I want to do them all in the same place.
Until just recently I was certain to go to Oxford to do the ATPLs and then follow their waypoint program. I saw the benefit of this as; say when I do graduate, I'd have the benfit of going to a big well organised school, and the question as to my quality of training would have been good and consistant. (ie one school since ppl, and a big school at that.)
My backup WAS cabair bournrmouth, for the same reasons as above. However I went to see them recently, and it didnt feel right. They have 5 aircraft, 3 BE76s for ME IR and 2 Arrows for CPL. 2 pf the duchesses were broken, and I felt I was in a scrap yard. (But thats another story). The good bit was that they were about 10K cheaper that Oxford.
I dont know what to do, I can afford to do the Oxford modular, but is it worth it. Im reaLLy stuck and I dont know where to go. As far as I'm currently aware these are the two big players for Modular in the UK.
I know about other places like London Met and Bristol for GS, but then where would I do my commercial flying, as I want to stick with one provider. I could do it at my 'sattellite centre', but then I'd be one of 2 people doing it. I'd rather be in a class of 15 so we can bounce career ideas off eachother, or does this even matter.
So Im still quite stuck about my the modular providers for the rest of my training. Henceforth I ask you, with grattitude in advance....
Where should I do my Modular training and Why? :cool:
Im open to all sugestions.
