Benefit of UK based CPL/IR training to employment prospects?
I'm currently at the stage of finishing off my hour building before I start my CPL and IR.
I was planning on doing both of these (bar part of the IR) in the USA but I've recently been informed that doing all of the CPL/IR training in the UK would be better for my employment prospects with European airlines at the end of the training. The reason given was that an airline would prefer to see that you had done the flying in the type of airspace that you wish to employed in.
I must admit, I don't really know how much truth is in this and, having never heard this before, I'd be interested in hearing what people think and/or have experienced.
Is what I was told a load of nonsense?
Does it REALLY make a difference to the airlines (or your chances of a job) if you do the majority of your flying training outside of the UK?
Interested in any responses
