hello Jockster,
Can you possibly provide a link to the specific education? and is the education for international students, ie students who are not from the United Kingdom?
The ATPL you end out with, it is of the same snadart as one from a regular flight school and will the airlines not prefer one over the other?
I think in relation to optaining hours. At the flight school i am looking at, it is possible to become an instructor afterwards, giving 3 - 500t multi-engine hours, and up to 1,200 hours total.
So the question is surely whether it should be several hours vs. a university degree.
