FTO-s

I was putting together pros and cons for myself for each FTO in order to ground a decision, and between many other factors some are as follows:
- FTE is making the whole training in Spain, can be an advantage for those having family, etc. not to being away from them (in USA or in NZ) for a year or so
- as flying training is in Spain that means you learn to fly in European airspace, where you will be flying mainly
- New Zealand must be a great adventure
- FTE is the most expensive in regards to "other costs", although it is stated that meal is included in the price 3 times a day in the campus, which is a large cost factor. There it seems to be really "all-inclusive" for the £9000
- With OAA it is £7000, but not including food, and I'm not sure about accomodation costs
And there are many other factors. So it's not easy to choose and worth to read after the details as average-punter wrote.
At the moment I'm more thinking of FTE to select.
