Thumbs up

Why should you go to WMU? They didn't allow self sponsored students almost from the word go. As soon as they had the BA contract in 98 they rescinded and refused to accept non-airline sponsored people. (Now tell me that was a great long term strategic move!!!).

I would suspect that since they haven't any long term experience with self-sponored people their service towards the needs of self-sponsored would be dubious, and in anycase they are 8 hrs away - what contacts, support etc can you get in WMU for flying jobs in Europe? You also have to bear in mind that towards the end of the course, you would want to start actively looking for work, and that can be tough in anycase, so why make it harder with the time difference, not to mention going for interviews etc.

Give it miss.
