All the flying schools have there plus's & minus's but here's how I made my decision (but not in any particular order!!)
1. Spain has a nice climate
2. Oxford's airspace is very crowded i.e. singles & twins in the same circuit.
3. Jerez is fairly quiet, but you get some jet interaction (737's MD83's etc)
4. Payment is in Euro's - Last two months saved over £2000 just because the euro is so weak.
5. VAT on accommodation & food only (not training) @ 7%
6. Good opportunity to 'get away' from any distractions.
7. Excellent facilities at Jerez - really top class.
8. Price is all-inclusive of food and accommodation.
9. Some people may say BAe holds no weight in the name (may be true - may not be too!!)
10. If it's good enough for BA, Airtours, Air Lingus, etc etc It's good
enough for me!
11. Aircraft maintenance facilities are excellent & the aircraft are in excellent condition.
12. Received very positive reports from current & past students.
13. Did i mention the weather??!!
14. Not good to finish on 13 points, food seems good too!
Anyway there are probably one or two more reasons, that I can't think of right now. Maybe I should go into marketing!! But seriously, when spending this amount of money it's worth doing the research. I believe BAe will bring the best out in me - but that's not to say the other schools wouldn't do such a good job. It is a tough decision - and I hope this information will help you.
P.S. This has been written from my opinion, and what I believe, I could be wrong!!
Happy flying
