It all comes into play, as to where the best school for you would be.
Every situation is different.
No two people are the same.

I had a part-time high paying evening and week-end job, that allowed me the freedom to train when and where I wanted.
And a place to stay for free.
Without it, things would have been much different.

You are listed as London.
If you are North East London.
You may want to consider Stapleford.
If your South London, then FTA needs to be considered.
West London, then Airways.
You will pay more to do it from home, but may save in the long run.

But if you are a free agent.
Then I’d pack up the car and head for Eastern Europe.
Bartolini and Baltic are very good.
As is Diamond.
I’d stay away from Greece.

Scheduling seems to be the name of the game now.
I was thinking that if you booked up Bartolini for Oct 2019.
Could you go from zero to 175 hours and ATPL written passed in that time frame?
Maybe, maybe not.
Time waits for no man.
And I’m not waiting on any school.
If you already have a PPL and are working on your ATPLs, then Oct 19 isn’t going to work out.
You can over think a situation.
Life doesn’t go according to plan very often.

I’ve been unsure as to what exactly Wings Alliance is too.
Thanks for the reply. Yeah I already have my ATPL, so I think the ATPL exams in a year is very doable, so yeah I guess October 2019 is too far away... I'm only getting older. My plan is to stop working entirely before I go do the CPL MEIR, so location isn't an issue, in fact I'm sure to enjoy the experience in another country more than staying in London.

I've emailed all the schools, and I'll see what their responses are. Diamond seems fully booked also... Bartolini did say I could be on a waiting list, but I don't want to end up waiting until Oct 2019.
