Have a friend who went from pft to Airways Exeter to complete his CPL and couldn't believe the difference in the standard of training he really wishes he had done the IR there after having problems at pft.
My only concern personally is learning a new airport and some new routes so far on in my training
As for not paying up front in a previous post I luckily didn't but a friend who took out a CDL had no choice as the loan is paid directly to the school she now has to pay back the loan without having completed her IR!!
