I had my CPL(A)/frozen ATPL(A) at CAE Global Academy Évora. I think CAE is a pretty competent organization, I enjoyed my time there and think I am as well or best prepared than pilots from other FTOs - I also believe it is more how much does the student pilot put into learning than the quality of instruction (of course instruction has to be of quality but there are many quality FTOs, so the success will depend on how much is put into it).

As for the provisioning programs it really depends if you get lucky - they have programs with some airlines in which pilots sponsor their TR and then go work for the companies, the pay is not big but it is a good start. However there have been less and less chances at these programs with the increase of low hour pilots that come out of their academies. I have finished my course one year ago and still have not been able to join any of their programs.

Feel free to ask any further questions.
