However the trade off for variety may (and I am not an expert here) be the dollars.. .. .If you want a few more dollars (only a few more mind you), then big airline schools are the way to go. The trade off here though is the distinct lack of variety. The place I work pays relatively well (see the figures quoted by my ex-colleague Angle of Attack; his figures are accurate) and has looked after me.
