I know this is going off the OAT subject but just have to mention my visit to Atlantique.
The staff at Atlantique where very helpfull and answered all my questions with a great deal of honesty.
In fact they were so honest they put me off,the few young graduates they take on as Pilots earn between 10-12k a year and do a hell of a lot of gardening.
I was told by their marketing manager that he has been asked to recommend pilots to airlines all of,hmmm......twice!!
They admitted to being a small school relative to the likes of OAT,but I agreed this was not a bad thing as all the students would benefit with the exta tuition and time.
For better job prospects they recommended doing the 2yr internship with their sister company in the USA, Delta Connections cus 85% of the students are employed as instuctors in the second year as to build up hours and then gauranteed an interview with Delta for a F/O position($60,000)exc.accom.
They also offered a combination of the two as most schools do for frozen ATPL for £32,000.
Overall they seem to have good quality staff,small/old fleet(for student use),and very well set up for a modular course but lack (IMHO)the connections with any airlines(delta only consider students who complete their 2year internship)
