Question Oxford V The other Modular Schools

Question,

So you get all the information back from all the various colleges / Schools and then you have to decide which is the best for you..
At one end of the scale there is Oxford which @ 60k + appears to be the most expensive. I am fine with that and then at the other end there is are the sub 25k naturally 2 totally different courses.

So you say aim for the middle to upper end and you will be OK.

Then a friend whispers in your ear if you go to Oxford you have a far greater chance of getting a job with an airline. Cos the first place they look at first is Oxford. (Trained at Oxford)

Is this correct?

So say they look at Oxford and don't get anywhere (Highly unlikey) Where to next?

Do they look at SFT? No because that went bust

Do they look at EPTA? Or is that just SFT renamed and re-located!!!

Stapleford who claim that you get to fly in highly restrict airspace to build those hours?

Carrill Aviation ?

Bournemouth Flying Club?

So how is it ranked?

Which offers the greatest chance?
(Easy WWW and Sroggs you generally go large on these sort of questions)

We all know that the school /college will not get you the job at the end it is you and you alone.
The price of the course does not make any difference.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Anyone got views on this ?
