Firstly, you have as much chance as everybody else - doesn't really matter if it's PilOAT (I haven't forgotten) of FTE , intergrated/modular, FAA (then conversion) or straight JAA.

You'll find many schools are quite dishonest about employment. They will never be honest (they'd be bust within a week). If they said that they trained 250 people last year and say 80 got employment that would be more honest and thus draw our own conclusion. However, schools use percentages and other "techniques" to massage the figures.

Finally, This word "Graduate" that alot of the big 4 use. You will Never Ever be a graduate from these unless they start doing a 3 year University programme. Its a way of them talking themselves up. Let "we" be honest the exams are A level at the top level with a dash of GCSE maths and physics.

I prefer the word "pilot" as thats what your training for.
