Most airlines hiring directly from flight schools?

Hi!
Is the situation now that all major companies are hiring students directly from flight schools? Let's say that I would like to work for Air Berlin. If I don't go to their flight school which they have contact with, will it be out of the question to work for them?

I've about 1000 hours now, some of them on jet. Currently wondering about to start on a Beechjet 400A, but not sure if it's better to work in an airline or not. Air Berlin is one company that I've been looking on for a while. I'm also willing to pay for the A320 TR.

But the final question is anyway: Are most airlines hiring from flight schools they stay in touch with, or is it possible to apply for an airline even though you are from a "foreign" Flight School? I took my education at InterCockpit, and now thinking about Air Berlin.
