An age old question, however I can't seem to get a straight answer.
Let's say, theoretically ;), I was a young trainee pilot spending masses of money with one organisation (I best not name who, but it begins with a capital C) and I wished to go to another, more local, school with better aircraft and in my opinion, better instructors.
Now, if I were to go ahead and switch to that school (bearing in mind I've only completed a PPL and ATPL theory with 'capital C') how would this affect my chances of getting that all important first job? Do airlines prefer people with a one-stop modular background?
Last point. Not that this is the main reason for switching, but certainly is a proportion, I could easily afford a type rating on, let's say, a PC-12 - or half a type rating on something larger (737, woooo) :} I'm sure this is a major advantage, no?
