CAE Oxford Aviation Academy- Phoenix - FAA
Hello all,
I am in about to start my FAA flight training by the end of this year and one of the U.S. schools/academies I am considering is the CAE Oxford Aviation Academy in Phoenix - U.S.
Despite academy's strong reputation on JAA programs, I have noticed that there is a lack of bridge and pipeline programs with U.S. regional airlines, at this point.
However, other reputable U.S. flight schools (Trans Pac, Aerosim, ATP, US Aviation etc.) offering such programs which is a great deal for qualified instructors advancing to the next level of their career.
I would appreciate a lot if any academy's current FAA student, instructor and/or aviation professional could advice about academy's training standards and potential in the U.S. regional airline market.
Regards,
Spymell

I take it you're European? CAE definitely specializes in European and JAA training. They have a good reputation and would probably be your best bet.
TransPac is generally known for its contracts with Asian airlines to train students from that region.
ATP is more American-focused but its Phoenix location does have a contract with Saudi Airlines for international students. Its reputation isn't as great, though.
Based on student demographics, if you're European you might feel most at home with CAE. As for pipelines to the regionals, once you have the required 1500 hours of flight time you can get hired at any regional you want. They're all in desperate need of pilots and will take anyone meeting the qualifications so long as they're not totally incompetent.
