I understood looong long time ago (like 2 month into my education, even before my 1st flight hour), that school just telling stuff, ONLY to get you in. You are absolutely right on that.

However, what Im saying here, is mine opinion and not what schools told me.
My opinion is formed out of my experience, experience of people I know and what TRUSTED people tells me (not someone on the forum, but pilots etc i know in a real life).

Fair enough, everyone wants experienced people for the job.
But where will you get those guys? Crisis - people loose jobs. Get rehired later. Cool.
But lets say "no one" hires inexperienced pilots for next 20 years. So, where will you get experienced pilots after that?

My point is, "best" companies dont take in pilots with "no time", unless you know someone in the system.
However, there will ALWAYS be companies that taking in guys with low hours.
Flying for low payment, like CFI is kind of part of education.
And once you done with it, you will get a job. At least most of people will.
