Can anyone enlighten me on some good flying schools for becoming an airline pilot ATPL License (Frozen)

I have seen Oxford Aviation Academy and it looks good. Would like views on this also.

And what are people's views on Cabair?

Are their other good established flying schools in UK similar to Oxford and Cabair?

I like the sound of FTE it looks good...again would like views on this also?

Out of the three FTO mentioned what would most people go for?

Would appreciate some info/advice

Thanks

There are loads and loads... Which route are you going down? Integrated or Modular?

Im thinking about Integrated towards a Frozen ATPL License.

I liked the OAA school but want to shop around first and see what other FTO have to offer.

I like the idea of FTE but it is in Spain.

To be honest... the only integrated courses are Cabair, OAT, CTC, FTE, Stapleford (I think) other than that, there aren't many.

You'll find what you're looking for here (http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?t=131649).

If you want to go integrated but don't want to leave the UK then ... you're only left with one option.

Join OAA (Oxford Aviation Academy - it's not OAT anymore) and they will send you to the US for a good few weeks of your training.

Join FTE and you'll be based in Jerez, Join CTC and you'll be in NZ.

So the only one left on the list is Cabair (http://www.cabair.com/integrated/).

Good luck!

Thanks for the info guys...

Yes Cabair do send their students to Valencia Spain which to me is much better than all the way across USA (OAA)

Im just weighing me options...

How do Stapleford Flying School sound? http://www.flysfc.com/index.html
