[QUOTE=ArcticFlyer69;11173692]Okay! Thanks for great information. I will definitely consider it.
I know Poland, Greece, Slovenia etc have a lot cheaper integrated flight schools. And its really economically smart.
But my main dream and goal is to work for an airline here in Norway. Do you think the airlines here will care about which flight school I went to? I mean, I dont think they appreciate candidates who underwent the training at an unknown school in Greece or Poland for instance..[/QUOT

I doubt the airlines care which flight school you attended.
I am also from Norway and when I picked a flight school back in the 70s, I simply went for the cheapest one I could find.
As luck had it, the US $ was inexpensive @ 5 NOK for $1.00,
Found a cheap Part 141 school in the USA, $9,500 with everything included.
Since then I had 19 flying jobs and nobody cared about the flight school, in the end you get the same license.
If you are talented you can become an excellent pilot regardless of where you went to school, and vice versa, if you are an idiot, not
even the best flight school in the world can make a good pilot out of you,
Based on what I am reading in this thread, I would not pick PFA. Find an inexpensive school, get the tickets and go to work.
Lykke til.
