thanks for advice. got some good gen from instructor in NFC said the cost changes at the end of the course, last students slapped with bill when the course finished and had to pay before they could get their licence and no job or interview! out the door..next...
Interesting.
The training contract you sign at any school is for a set amount of training. The requirement for supplemental training to make the grade is not usually included in the initial costs and how can it be? When costing flying training there is little room allowed for 'little Johnny' constantly
things up, because we don't know how many times he'll do something stupid!
All integrated schools will have a cut-off point where you either get "chopped" or are asked to cough up the additional cost. Some are quicker to wield the axe, others more patient.
Did NFC promise you a job, or an interview? Did Atlantic? Do Oxford, CTC or FTE? Not a promise I'd make at the start of a course. All integrated schools will have varying degrees of success with placing students, but it should be remembered that when you graduate from whichever school you choose, you will be one of hundreds this year alone, and one of thousands out there still looking from previous years.
I know several ex OAA students who have got jobs with airlines, but most have done so off their own bat with little realistic help from the training provider and most didn't get these straight after training finished! I know FTE, OAA, PTC and CTC grads that are out there looking 3years after the last dance ended at that glitzy grad ball!
It's always going to be a very difficult choice and I don't envy you having to make it, but what worked for someone else may not necessarily work for you!
