Just an update
I start my Type Rating on the 24th September, I didn’t get the Exeter base that I was hoping 🙁 so I have to choose between Edinburgh, Glasgow & Belfast.
We have until Monday to decide, we have discounted Glasgow so it’s one of the other 2, whichever one can give my 2 daughters the better quality of life then that’s the one we’ll go for.
If anyone has any positives or negatives to say about Edinburgh or Belfast I’d be happy to hear them. 🙂

EDI. :p I can’t really fault Edinburgh for quality of life but it isn’t a cheap place to live, can’t comment on Belfast. Plus, since the company I work for will be handling BE from the end of the month we’ll look after you.:D If you need any more help on Edinburgh feel free to PM me.
The routes served are fairly similiar being mainly domestics. EDI does have more French regional routes but they are stopping for winter, however they’ve done well so I’d expect them to return next summer at an increased frequency maybe with more. BHD is the bigger base with 8 aircraft compared to EDI’s 5, whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing is down to personal preference.
At the end of the day it’s your decision, it’s easy for me to say EDI as I live here and if I was in your situation- and I wish I was- it would be EDI without a shadow of a doubt. Clearly your situation is different though so just let is know what you decide to go with.:)
