@HBZ737 - I'll be honest I hadn't considered Prestwick or Cumbernauld, mainly because family & significant other are East Coast based and I intend to stay nearby to wherever I'm training. Don't really fancy being more than an hours drive from Edinburgh. That said, I'll certainly look into it.
Glad to hear your job is still aviation related though! And more than happy from anyone who trained at Prestwick etc to add their 2cents.
