AVOID! Especially with the upcoming take over...

Not going to get into an integrated/modular debate; but Skybourne and FTE Jerez are your best bet, IMO. Leading Edge cadets are experiencing huge delays with a lack of aircraft and instructors, they have nowhere near the capacity as what they have taken on. Don't get drawn in by the fantastic marketing teams!

Best of luck to you and your son

Could not have said any of this better myself (another cadet with a 3 year timeline here - AVOID)
