Somebody above has asked whats more important, you or where you trained.....
Errrrrrr....................HIYA!!!
The Airline interview is a filtration process....
Who's going to be employed ??
Wannabe A
Aces sim check, totally confident with the sim, shows impressive learning capability and is a total complete smart arse who treats his co-applicant co pilot with contempt Went to Oxford/Cabair/Jerez
or
Wannabe B
Struggles a little with the sim, porpoises down the ILs for the first and second times and gets it 1/2 right the third time. Has a
laugh at himself outwardly and inwardly shows an ability to learn by the end of the session, can run a checklist and has the sort of personality conducive to a four hour night flight to somewhere hot with no ILS. Who incidentally studied at home and trained modular method in the back of beyond
If you are a muppet you will not be employed, having an atmosphere in the flight deck and/or a captain that has little confidence in his co -crew is one of the single biggest factors affecting safety.
Im guessing but somebody could back me up.... when you initially get type rated on a large passenger jet you are probably about as much use as t1ts on a bull (especially with low hours i.e. less than a 1000 especially with less than 250). This is why you fly with a training captain who can accept your cockups.
Hopefully after 30-60 sectors line training you are probably putting more into the equation than taking out and can only then be let lose with "regular" captains.
Please dont expect to be up to speed even at that point if you are any good you will probably only appear like you are.
To me if you are the sort of person expecting "preferential" treatment because of where you trained then ask yourself are you more likely to fall into Cat A or Cat B....?
Rant over..........
