flight training
Don't get caught out, whoever gives you a too-good to be true, or whatever you look at in ways of training , be it intergrated or modular. From trial lesson to flight airline flight deck it will cost you circa £120k hard cash (inc type rating).
DO NOT scrimp on training, you will get caught out later down your progression when you are told that "certain licenses are not valid for this, certain ratings not valid for that"!
Ensure you can get a class 1 medical, or all of it will be a waste of time anyway, then the PPL is your choice (if modular). The only good USA schools are those that do not advertise, so word of mouth is what your searching for. The UK training is excellent with busy airspace, more radio requirements and more in depth instruction. The down sides are a, the weather and b, the costs. It can cost £5k-£12k depending on the school.
After the PPL make sure you get a good groundschool..Bristol, Oxford and Cabair are all at the top in this one..be very cautious of the "cheap" schools, you will find yourself on your own in a classroom every afternoon whilst your teacher is flying!
CPL/ME/IR is, again, a bit of a balance of quality and cost. Again the UK is the best, not least because there are no conversions required at varying stages. Spain is an absolute NONO for the IR, many airlines do not value or even recognise the training.
Lastly if you have not been hit by the credit crunch and are able to get a £60k loan, or re-mortgage your property go intergrated. There is no actual advantage as far as the airlines are concerned, but it gets you through all the crazy beaurocratic hoops quicker
Hope this helps
