I didn’t want to start a new thread but hoping somebody can offer some advice -
I have started my PPL and will build hours at my local flying school (Stapleford) and wish to eventually complete an ATPL.
If I complete the rest of my modules (Theory through MCC) with a flight school such as CAE/L3/FTA, will I be able to take advantage of their relationships with airlines?
Is it better to do all modules at the same school? Or all flying at one school and theory elsewhere?
thanks!

The big schools may find you a job, but their priority is to their airline tagged cadets and integrated students so you would be behind them both in the pecking order throughout your training.
Stapleford have a good reputation among airlines and have one of the best CPL ME IR courses in the country with a very very high 1st series pass rate.
They won't sugarcoat anything and will be honest with you all the time without the sales pitch you will see from the big schools.
I would speak to the students there who are doing the advanced courses and see what their opinion is.

So after 24 months, with my shiny license in hand. It is then a case of waiting for a newly qualified DEP role to become available (like BA’s current one) or do you send CVs around?

Normally yes, I would advise doing something like Wings Alliance who would monitor your progress all the way and then when you do the MCC they will assist you in your CV, interviews and finding you a job. Kura Aviation do something similar but only once you do their MCC course.

Integrated pilot training query!
Hi,
I am going to be starting my pilot training in 1month (Integrated ATPL), however, I do not want to be doing my MCC/JOC with them as I’m planning on doing it with another organisation like VA, Kura, simtech etc.
My question is: would it be possible for me to do this and would I get some of my money reimbursed?
If it’s possible, do I have to inform them about my decision before I enroll on to my training or just let them know when the time comes..?
I’m looking forward to your responses!
Many thanks in advance.

How many ATO’s?
Hi,
If I choose to go down the modular route, how many ATO’s can I do my flying with? I understand the airlines prefer a maximum of 2 schools. Would this include PPL and ground school or just the professional flying?
Thanks

Waiting for the Sim evaluations, now.

Do airlines generally treat MPL candidates the same as ATPL holders nowadays, or will your type of license greatly influence jop opportunities should your MPL-ATO airline go bust?
A complete MPL automatically includes a type rating, so I’d imagine chances aren’t too bad on the job hunt?

I went modular and the life experience travelling to different countries in Europe was very valuable for me
Definitely would go Modular again if I had to start over, if you shop around you will be surprised how cheap you can do modular training compared to Integrated and at the end of the day you get the same licence

L3, CAE or FTE?
L3, CAE or FTE?
Having now graduated from University, I am currently deciding between the 3 main ATPL flight schools for an integrated course. Can anyone shed some light on the important differences between them, and recommend one? I have tried to forensically compare the three but they all claim high completion and employment rates, as well as a number of airline partners. FTE seems unique due to its campus set-up, but L3 seem to have a good employment rate. I have also read on another thread potential delays for L3 cadets?
All help is massively appreciated.

Pay as you go (Modular) vs Full time 0-Atpl (modular)
Hi guys, i Am currently 21 years old . My plan is to go to germany for lets say 3-4 years and make money to pay for my 50 k full time training with Bartolini and 35k for type rating . However I would like to know your opinion about this .
Is this a right way ? or Should i go Modular part time ( pay i as i have money) along with my job, with various schools.
The second way sounds more appealing to me since i wont be just working working and only after 3 years i can begin my flying . I also heard that doing everything in one recognizable school and having your fly certificates in short span is more favorable among hiring airlines . i would like to go to Poland ,Bartolini . Thanks

How time span between modular sections affect my job hunting.
Hello guys as I said i am wondering if its smart to do my pilot training as I go(pay as you go) . Or save all my money and then do it in one haul. Does having long gaps in training affect anything? Thanks for your answer.

FTA Global
Hello there,
I wonder if anybody could help please.
I am currently deciding which flight school to undergo an Integrated FATPL and so far I have looked at both CAE in Oxford, and FTA Global in Shoreham.
Having searched the forum I have found numerous threads about FTA asking about the quality of the school with limited response, I was just wondering if anybody reading this could help me out and point me in the right direction please?! Ideally somebody who has completed the FTA integrated 'flight deck' programme and has now landed a job.
There employment statistics seem very impressive with apparently 94% of their students having a job as a pilot within a year.
My question is as FTA is closer to me within commuting distance, and the fact that it is considerably cheaper than CAE even before you add on accommodation and travel costs, would FTA be the better place for me?
Thanks for looking and I look forward to your responses!
Kind Regards,
Oscar

" apparently 94% of their students having a job as a pilot within a year "
Be careful of believing the hype. CTC used to claim that 98% of their students got employed within a year, but upon closer inspection it was 98% of a very small number of specific cadets on specific courses.
