Your figures are wrong Charlie. I clearly explained to you in
this post that CTC would cost at a minimum, £80,000
without any additional (but necessary) fees but £95,000 was more realistic after costs. The £71k CTC charge is only the cost of the iCP course which you would be foolish to choose over the Wings course, which is 2 grand less at £69,000. Additionally, iCP has less benefits (no AQC (JCC, MCC etc.). It costs more, and then after you have your fATPL, costs even more money as you take out another 30,000 loan for a type rating. Whatever course you choose, you will have to pay the 17,400 $NZ for the foundation flying course add £10,000 onto anything CTC tells you. YOU HAVE TO PAY THIS, THERE IS NO CHOICE! So now were closer to
£79k for ground school/flight training alone, no retests, holidays, shoes, socks, license issue fees, medicals and I am sure you will drink the odd beer in 2.5 years.
What is the point of asking for more opinions if you had ignored the advice given to you anyway, even worse, you have ignored the facts.
As to which is the best school, monetary figures are probably fairly irrelevant (do Cabair provide accommodation?). The top 3 will all work out costing the same, PTC and Cabair will probably cost the same Nobody is going to be able to give you a decent answer. People will always argue either way
