Hello everyone,
I'm an Italian cabin crew working in London and thinking about doing the ATPL course.
I have 0 hours training so it would be ab-initio...
Every time I fly I always go to the flight deck to ask to the pilots about their experience, but I need more to have a better idea of the situation.
I have three names from all the pilots I asked some information:
Oxford Aviation Training (Here in UK)
Good:
- One of the best schools in the world (they say, I repeat...)
- JAR school
- Airline Jet Orientation Course at the end of ATP
- They almons guarantee you a job at the end of the course and they are so sure about themselves, that they actually give you the loan to do the course through HSBC
Bad:
- 60.000 ENGLISH POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And then I have two schools in USA: Flight Safety and American Flyers.
Pilos say that these are the best schools in USA and that if you want you can do the training as JAR OPS... Is that true?!?
Is it better to have a good school name behind you when you try to get a job, or is better to save money and chance it when you go to the interviews?
The most important thing: I don't have ANY money, and I would require full founding for the training... My parents can't afford it and they can't also give theire guarantee to support me with a bank...
I'm on my own...
What do you suggest?
Thanks for everything
Allioth
