BCFT
Hi Alex,
The aviation industry is always gong to be a big risk and low hours don't help though airlines are recruiting and there is serious movement at the moment so now is the best time to start.
I do not know a lot about BCFT though cost of living in Bournemouth is not cheap and flying in the UK over winter can be difficult and delay things. Not a bad way to go would be to do your PPL, NR and Hour building in the USA then complete your ATPLs while you hour build with Pro Pilot or Bristol Ground school and then go to DFAS or another flight training organisation this is similar to what I did though I got my PPL quite a few years ago before i continued my training. The CPL/ME/IR at DFAS is about £16,000 with current exchange rates including accommodation it takes two months and all of it is done on a DA42 i can't fault it and it was a great experience for me.
Another issue with flight training is you may budget for the exact cost of the course though I myself have spent quite bit more than I had planned to so always think of a fall back for financing.
All the best if you have any questions PM I will reply as soon as I can.
