I would like to think that this is true as I could save a couple of grand if I did the CPL in the USA, combine that with the time of year I will be doing the CPL, November / December then the USA would be a much better prospect.
However, I have heard and read an awful lot about the fact that it is preferable if you have done all your training with the same FTO from CPL onwards. I intend doing the IR in the UK (prob at Bournemouth) post CPL and an FI in the UK but I have convinced myself that the cheeky little CPL done in the States will be the difference between getting a job and not in today's (and ever increasingly so with the economic downturn) harsh job market. I would like to work for FlyBe but they seem to have become uber selective now and are only interested in integrated (CTC) or Modular who have done all their training at one of a handful of FTO's.
Is it really wise to shave off that couple of grand?? Honestly?
