Hey irishpost,
Thanks for your reply. Good points too. The main expense for me though, is flying (twice) from Vancouver to UK and living there for 2 months. I don't think there is any way around it. I might save a couple of hundred dollars here and there, but I was also thinking about the school.
When I apply to airlines in Europe, I think "Oxford Aviation Academy" has a better sounding name (on the resume) than say other ones. Maybe I have the North American mentality of "Name is everything" and should just worry about getting her done.
Also, I found out that I need an MCC course. Do you know a place I can get that done cheap?
Also, what do you mean "hours as required?" Basically, the instructors will evaluate you and say "Okay, you're good to go for the flight test?"
Cheers
