Aeros Flight Training
Hi,
I've seen a lot of adverts recently for a UK-based flight school called Aeros Flight Training. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with them they could share. Aeros boast something like a 97% employment rate on their website, so I'm keen to get an ex-student's perspective, particularly if they are now working for an airline.
I am also weighing up the option of doing a UKCAA PPL and my hours building over in the States before doing my CPL and all the relevant ratings to form a fATPL back in the UK. If anyone knows of any good providers of basic flight training over in the USA that would be a great help.
Thanks in advance!

If you're going to go to the States (And you really should!) - don't bother getting a CAA PPL - you don't need one. An FAA Private would be much quicker, easier and cheaper. (One exam vs 9 exams etc..)
I would also suggest you consider getting a 2-4 year training visa and working there as a flight instructor - in all likelihood you'll be able to get a job flying for an airline in the US. If you try that in the UK you'll spend twice the money to get 1/4 the possibility of finding a job...

Hi rudestuff,
How would it be possible to get a job flying for an airline in the US without a right to work? I thought the training visa would allow you to work as a flight instructor for a while but nothing else?
Thanks

97% employment rate as what?
Universities publish stats like that. McDonald’s counts, after all employment is employment ultimately.
