The big airlines don't hire people from certain flightschools, they hire PEOPLE alone - got it?
Wow! He really kikked your a$$!

Here in the US regional airlines do hire directly from schools. Namely the Delta Academy.

My airline has hired around two hundred academy guys and they are all very compitent pilots.
A few years back we hired a large number of Perdue grads. Perdue is a large university in Indiana.

Now the kikker. You have to be a legal resident before you even think about looking for any flying job here. Read many other posts on this site regarding this subject. It's been hashed to death.

I know a girl who went through a British school and got into Air UK. This was in the early 90s though. I think it was a place called 'The British School of Flying'. But I could be wrong.

Good luck. I took my first lesson at 28. Now I'm an airline captain.
