Having flown at WAC they are ok (albeit a few customer relation problems with at least one member of staff!! No names, no pack drills
) - for ppl stuff....thats where there expertise seems to be focussed. And they are good at it.
However SFC seem to have a more structured approach and they are more commercially focussed. E.g. you can do ATPL ground school, MCC as well as the usual CPL MEIR. Additionally they offer a B757 type training course. This implies a high level of experience, which, when you spend time with will rub off on you to make you a more rounded pilot.
If you have the cash you can literally go from zero to flight deck with SFC. WAC does not offer that continuity potential.
Although this may sound like an advert for SFC...it is not!! It is simply a comparison between the 2 choices you have in mind. There are lots of other perhaps more suitable choices you could also be looking at.
I am sure you are serious about getting your fATPL and getting a job - if so, location should be the last of your priorities as generally the route you are considering taking is one that requires full time committment...even after you have qualified and are looking for jobs.
Here ends todays sermon. Next week I'll be discussing sewing techniques in papua new guinea.
