Is changing schools a disadvantage?
*Originally posted on Wannabes - Professional Pilot Training but after ZERO responses I think it might sit better on this forum.*
I am looking at the self-funded route to gaining my fATPL. I am aiming to complete this over several years.
I have read that prospective employers take into consideration the school/s where you trained. Is this just for the CPL/IR or do they look at all ratings?
I live near London and for some ratings the local schools are a lot more expensive than further afield. Although I could stretch to complete some ratings locally (Night, Multi Engine etc) because of the convenience.
To make the training easier on my family (and finances), I was wondering about doing certain ratings in Spain, France, etc to allow me to train whilst the family had a holiday. (I would still be working full time so could not afford too much time off!)
Would this mix & match approach be looked upon less favourably?
