Recommended UK fATPL training courses

Hi there, I am very interested in becoming a pilot in the not so distant future. I live in the UK and would be interested to know which flight schools people would recommend. I know about OAA and CTC and have heard some bad things about Cabair and I was wondering which flight school is the best in the UK.
Thanks for your time

I'll help you before you get everyone shouting at you.
You should probably use the search function is what everyone will say.
If you want my opinion CTC is your best option to get a job at the end (unless you get selected by an airline first), but it's expensive compared to other methods.
Cabair I think went bust a couple of weeks ago so that's not even an option.

Use the search function.

Read the "modular versus integrated" sticky at the top of the page. Yes it's long, but read all of it anyhow.

Get an initial class 1 medical, to find out if there's any point.

Get a couple of initial flying lessons, to find out if you actually enjoy the environment and can cope with it.

Cabair have managed to go bankrupt twice in the last year. In the unlikely event they manage to resurrect themselves again, nobody with any sense will go near them and they'll go bust a third time.

Oh yes, and use the search function.
