My intention is to train with EFT or Delta as they offer the instructor ratings and employment (max 2yrs) as part of the course price and all JAA + FAA licences, then return to UK in the hope I will look more attractive to the airlines. I realise there is a chance I wont go straight onto airline work but I will be at least qualified to instruct here so I will keep current and be getting paid. If however I do the course in the UK for the same price (£30,000), I wont have the instructor ratings or 1000hrs so I’m ******ed keeping current let alone paying bk the money if I don’t go straight to the airlines. But all of that is useless anyway if the airlines prefer the UK schools.

any info from those who have followed various routes appreciated
