I would listen to the assistant flight instructors talking as they looked up at 300 feet overcast.....
I'd like to believe Booker has drastically improved since then. From what a can see on PPRuNe, they are a respected outfit.
As for comparing Kingston and Bucks, both degrees give you the ATPL but as for the uni stuff, completely different; they're not interchangeable so in that sense, they can't really be compared but I appreciate the reluctance potential students would feel about enrolling into a uni that's #126/127.
Regarding Stapleford, how have you plucked £20k out of the sky? The costs I've tallied up are the normal £60Kish
The likes of Flying Academy etc in the US really do seem convincing. I'll be going to Pilot Careers Live the April, hopefully, some of the American schools will be there to possibly convince me to do my building there.
