They appear to not really care that much, about where you did your training etc. I’ve seen plenty of people get invited for their assessment. Ranging from the most obscure and unknown flightschools, to having done their training at 10 different places, you name it.
Don’t overthink it, get a cplmeir with a flightschool where you’re comfortable.
IMO; Where it gets important for successfull airline assessments; a good MCC and a sim prep for the specific assessment profile. That’s what’s being judges in the end.
Also, don’t hyperfocus on technical skills and knowledge. The non technical part of the interview is equally important. Show that you can be a good coworker.
After a few hrs almost everybody will be able to fly the operation, but not everybody will be able to be a good coworker.
You are clearly not up to date with the forthcoming terms. Not everyone has the 30k to splash out on the type rating. The Mentored Scheme now makes ALL the difference (if FR is the goal)
