Morning chaps, I passed through the 'other school' BCFT a few years ago and had the best time of my life in the big B mouth! If you guys need a great place to stay I can suggest where I stayed so PM me.
As you guys are joining can I just say a few things, from experience there is no real difference between Cabair and BCFT. Cabair ground school may be better but only slightly however BCFT's sim is a bit and guys there seemed to get thought their CPL/ME/IR much quicker due to availability of instructors and aircraft. With regards to Cabair looking much better on the CV, that is a bit of a sweeping statement to make. All the guys I knew in Cabair are instructing or sadly looking where as at BCFT all of the guys are either flying Airliners, waiting for TR's or instructing. I just wanted to make the point that no school is really better than the other, when I was in the big B mouth quite a few of the new Cabair students seemed to look down their nose at the BCFT guys so please dont do the same as you will probably be working together soon after.
When you are in Bournemouth you must go to the Curlew pub, its just around the corner serving great food with some saucy staff! Also the place I would suggest is walking distance from both the school and pub, good times.
Have fun and I hope to see a few of you on the line one day.
Cabus
