FTE integrated ATPL + real job opportunities
Hello,
I'm about to attend the selection process in Jerez and still have a question which nobody could really answer.
I know that the whole aviation business is not facing a happy moment, and that it's really hard to find a job unless we don't have a type rating..a lot of hours stored in hour logbook and....some good "references".
But flight training centres such as FTE or OAT really like to show the fact they have good coonections with airlines. FTE's homepage have a good airlines list that recruited their graduates.
This is all fair to me, however, let me say I still don't trust this a lot.
I may be wrong, but are job opportunities really bigger for those who attend these FTOs or is it just a manner to attract more and more students?
Are new graduates really hired by this or that airline and perhaps don't even pay for a type rating?
I hope somebody can answer all of this! thank you!
