It's a simple enough task you'd think to choose where to train. The simple stuff, is the school JAA approved (I intend to fly in Europe), is the fleet well maintained, what's the student instructor ratio like? ad infinitum....
I'm currently working through the early stages of my CPL in southern England and would obviously like to continue in the UK, my family is here and I know the language....but money is the issue
So if it's a JAA ME/IR your after then Spain seems to be the place.
But is it? Has anyone trained anywhere else? and what is the situation with the 'if you've trained in Spain or somewhere else you're passed over for jobs as against UK trained pilots' scenario.
Is there any truth in this?
So in the end I guess my question is this people.
If you had to do it all again - which FTO's would you choose?
I'm beginning to think that Aerodynamics in Spain will be getting my shekels...
All kind help appreciated - envelopes full of cash preferred obviously;)
