So it would be nice to know now if I can enter OAA, CTC etc in 4 years
Wouldn't it just? That level of prescience would also probably win it's owner any lottery you might care to mention.
But this free school I am talking about
Is that free flight training? Upto fATPL level? Seriously? £50k+ of commercial flight training provided by your state for free?
If the above is true, why wouldn't you go for it? I mean, I read an earlier post of yours that states you would only plump for the free school if you had no chance of making the grade for e.g. OAA.
I don't understand why you'd pass up the opportunity to get all that training for free in exchange for spending £100k at in integrated FTO.
I'm not sure about this bit (corrections gratefully received) but if you commercially trained for free, then went off and "had a life" for a bit, while paying to keep licenses and ratings current, would it not be
quite a few years before you spent the equivalent of what the training might have cost in the first place, especially somewhere like OAA?
