Hi guys,
Been browsing the forums for months and I've seen so many conflicting views that I think it's time I started to make a decision for myself - however, I will gain some last ditch pieces of advice.
I'm a 19 year old from Dublin, Ireland, and have been saving in order to start Flight training for quite some time now, the only problem is - where? I have attended the Flyer exhibition, year after year and it still doesn't really make it easier - A school that may have impressed both me and my parents the year before, might be quite sh!t the next year! It's really hit and miss.
Now, I have read loads of different opinions, views and arguments on this site and various others regarding where gives you the best training in terms of weather, instructors, ground school and of course, cost.
Being 19, Money of course is an issue to an extent, but if needs be, I can get it with the help of willing parents.
In Ireland, training in the PTC can prove to be very costly and their constant phonecalls after flyer exhibitions come across as a little desperate and are definitely a put off.
FTE Jerez always seems a decent shout and I actually know 2 guys there now training, who love every minute of it.
Then there's the US. Always seems deceivingly cheap, or does it? That's what I want to know. I've seen Airline Pilot Programmes for in and around $55,000, which is quite cheap in comparison to training in Europe. I may seem a little naive, but why is this?
How good are flight schools such as Pheonix East Aviation or Orlando Flight Training? Can you reccommend anymore in the US?
Advice and insight would be much appreciated,
Until then,
Over and out!
