Delta Connection Academy or Flight Safety Academy
I want to pursue a career as an Airline pilot.
I would have looked at european schools but unfortunately because of my eyesight i am unable to get a initial JAA class medical. The limit is -6.00 diopters. I am -5.5 but have astigmatism of -0.75 in both eyes so that makes it -6.25. I went for a medical at the CAA medical facility at gatwick airport and they have suggested me to take the FAA route and gain a CPL as with my eyesight the can renew the medical easily if i already hold a CPL.
So my plan is to do the two year J1 program with instructor ratings and towards the end i plan to do a conversion course at one of the schools here in europe doing distant learning for ATPL while still in usa and then coming to the european school for the flying part.
I have basically narrowed it down to those two schools and need advice in picking one.
Either Delta connection Academy or Flight saftey academy.
Would love to hear from anyone whos been to either of the schools and which one would you recommend out of the two
Thanks
