I do have to laugh when potential cadets talk about the pros and cons of various factors between the big schools. Aircraft types, accommodation, G1000s, the "feeling" of the school, the number of airports you train at (!?!). Forget it all.
Blantoon- We all have our own opinions about the bells and whistles at each FTO, however, surely I would assume that you would want a decent "feeling" along with great aircraft and accommodation at any school when you are spending close to £100k for training at their facilities.

Also, in regards to judging a school primarily on your "likelihood of an airline job at the end of it", some schools manage to get more cadets hired than others one month, while another might do better at another point in the year. If this wasn't the case, the common debate of deciding which school is the best out of OAA/CTC/FTE would go out of the window because the answer would be obvious, go with the one that gets the most cadets hired. As you can tell from looking around the forums, this is clearly not the case.
