Hey Elias.
You've been pondering flying schools for a little while now haven't you.
Swinburne Aviation - Flying Training should have some of what you're looking for.
I'm at MFS and am very happy.

Elias,
To learn with GFS you don't have to do the university program. You can approach them directly and enrol as a student. All you have to do is take a crate full of money with you and you will be set.
For a different option try flying in one of the country schools where it is less crowded and much cheaper.
For a Smart option, click HERE, to see a good school that will give you a Diploma in Aviation, plus a CPL/MECIR for circa $50K.
Good luck mate.

Unlike ABX i would reccomend a place who doesn't focus on their charter ops ahead of training - GFS do a good job if your planning on going from your training sraight into an airline. Most of their aircraft are glass cockpit and i am yet to find that common out their in the real world when you get your first job. ABX is right about the price though.

Adz,
I do agree, they can focus on their charter ops a bit - mainly because it is their bread and butter - it pays the bills! They focus on the students too, they two full-time dedicated instructors at YMAY at the moment.
Unlike yourself, I am not an instructor and have no investments or vested interests of any sort with this or any other school. I am just a student at this school.
Where do you work mate?
