It has no impact upon me, but I have heard a number of aspiring professional pilots recently comment, with considerable conviction, that the larger airlines will only consider applicants who have trained at a small number of schools - and therefore the aspiring pilot should not ruin their career by, say, going and doing a tailwheel or IRR rating at a different school. I'm pretty sure this is a myth, but they get rather upset with me when I call it that. Does anybody have any certain knowledge about that?
