if Spaniards' flying is as good as their football team, then they must be good.
Few people I know did it in Spain because of cost and weather, they were happy with the service.
Have friends who work in recruitment and they say CVs are already piling up on their desks and we are not in full recession yet so guess Spanish or the UK IR is totally irrelevant at the moment.

Secondly, it would be illegal to discrimante against someone on that basis as they have JAA qualifications so watch what you say as you might have employment lawyers paying you a little visit.

And who knows
dr boeing, you may have to seek employment in Spain soon but they may bin your CV on the basis that you did IR in the UK.
Most of the pilots I met who worked with reputable airlines were ex OAT, Jerez or Cabair students.
Bonus students employment?? Maybe Ryanair likes and you must pay TRs etc. Classier companies? Never
