Yes, No and somewhere in between.
So much depends on what you want to do, once you have experience people don't really care. Places like Ryanair want them all done at the same place where doesn't matter so much, others want experience in the region they fly.
I've done a lot of flying around the west of Scotland when I see certain weather conditions I expect things to happen, it's hard to explain or put down in writing, sometimes it conflicts with what you have been taught in Met but experience will tell you. Some look for this experience because of where you operate others.
So much depends on what you want to do, I love doing Aerial surveys and trust me no CPL course prepares you for that kind of work
