Doing your training at some unheard of school, at the back-end of nowhere, will not look so good. The reason being airlines that take ab-initio pilots on know what 'product' they receive, post training, from the more established FTOs. Should you decide to go modular, limit the number of FTOs for flying phases to 2. That way, continuity of training can be established. And if you think airlines don't have the time to phone up FTOs to ask how previous students performed....think again.

Good luck. Research is KEY!! Read FTN or flight training news.

Oh, and GAPAN's "So You Want To Be A Pilot" is a very very good document! READ IT!
