Question IR in Scotland or Poland

Hi all.

I'm close to completing my ATPL's and looking at what to do next. I want to get my CPL/IR/ME done this year. I found a school in Poland, Air Bartolini, who seem to have a very good reputation and their prices are extremely reasonable to say the least!

However it would be a lot easier for me to stay in the UK/Scotland as you don't need to worry about flights, I wouldn't have to rent a car etc... So I spoke with someone at ACS Perth (I've been there quite a few times and they all seem very friendly), and he told me that because of Scotland's horrible weather many airlines much prefer to hire people who did their IR here rather than in Spain for example. Is this true? Would I be better off doing my training here even considering the extra cost??

Cheers.
