WWW,
I do respect your experience in the industry, but why then, at the BALPA conference did the Airlines specifically state (not all, but majority) that they would look at interviewing low houred pilots next year provided the student trained at an approved FTO (being an integrated course: Oats, Cabair, or BAe)???
Are you saying that they just said this, but didnt really mean it?
Just for the record I'm a modular student about to complete my IR, but not at one of the above mentioned schools.
