Well, "saw me through" refers only to my PPL and hours buliding. I'm seeing the rest through at Oxford as its local and only came out a few Łk more than Bristol Flying Centre.
BFC runs an fantastic set up, I've visited a few times and really can't fault the place. It would sound about right that more and more carriers can afford to be slightly more picky about where their students have trained (On the mere mention of OBA to the chaps at BFC I could see them cringe).
I'd not want to be doing my CPL and an IR conversion too far from home, there are one or two carriers who are going to be taking students from only 4 major schools in the near future, (so they say). Now weather this comes into immediate effect or is a somewhere down the line, I do not know, but I thought it best to 'future proof' myself just in case!.
