There's no denying the (cough, cough) 'links' between Aviator and EFT. The EFT-Aviator relationship extend beyond airplanes, instructors and facilities.
But it doesn't matter - EFT is a good school for what it advertises - getting licences quickly and relatively cheaply. While that's not ideal for everybody (i.e. for those whose first priority is not minimum course completion time or cost), those people who *do* want quick and cheap are served well at EFT, and they won't mind whether they are taught by American or UK instructors.
I have first-hand experience (albeit not recent) of EFT and can recommend it along these lines.
Yeah,
