Cabair
I would not recommend Cabair, if you had 60k, I would advise doing it modular. Why? because you get to have experiences at different schools, and it would cost much less. Even if one were to do it the cheapest they could possibly do it, which would come to about 30 to 35k. You could still do the AQC with CTC, and if you pass that, (costs 7000) it would probably have the same value if not more, than an Oxford Ab-Initio course!
But this is just my opinion. And what I plan on doing. As i find this route best for myself. Your circumstances may be different from mine.
I also believe that by doing it modularly you have shown more of an interest. Before, i was thinking about doing an ab-initio, simply because i couldn't be arsed finding out what the modular course consisted of and which parts i could do here and which i could do by saving money going to the States. But as I learned more, I realised, that for about 10 hours reading about modules and schools, I could save myself 25k. And reach the exact same goal, if not better, since you're moving around and adapting to different environments to train in.
I'm not assuming you don't know anything. It's just that you must be absolutely sure about spending 60k, as to me, it now sounds scarily expensive, but then so is 35k. but about half the risk.
You should also try and not plan for what you will do in summer 2005, as you never know, by the way things are going, most airline operators may require type ratings, and this practice might regretfully be considered the norm. So much can change, so i would rather keep my money for an essential type-rating or whatever i need to pay for a Job, which sounds absurd, having to pay for your employer for your job, but chances of changing their minds is futile. Unless there is like a mass protest, i mean pilots simultaneously from all over going on strike, would seem extreme, and its the LAST thing airlines want, delayed flights. But at least justice may be done! I hope it will never come to that.
Anyway good luck, I hope you and everyone else embarking on this journey ends up where we all want to be.
