Cool

I think Billy might have the right idea - I know at least one large airline was looking at Jerez for ab initio training before it all went wrong. Havig said that, I did a CPL/IR at Cranfield and a 737 appreciation course at Oxford, and both were about as good as you are going to get in this business.

However in the current climate I think whichever you choose it would be prudent to have enough money to do an FI rating at the end of it. Having more than 200 hours helps you to stand out from the crowd, and it also means that you are applying to airlines as a current pilot, even if it is on light singles. Oh yeah, and I reckon a year instructing also makes you a more competent pilot.

Give it 100% effort. Good luck!
