I'd like some opinions of those involved in the recruitment/training side of things, on whether or not the 'unwritten rule' of only going to a BIG school and doing the CPL full time is acceptable to the airlines for that all important first job.
Due to the temporary (I hope) downturn in low hour pilot recruitment, I have decided after only having just completed all of the ATPL groundschool & exams, to go back to work for a while and pay off some debts from training, before commencing the CPL/IR full time.
However, some of the smaller approved schools are offering 'part time' CPL's so you can work at the same time.
All sounds great BUT, do the Airlines really not like this type of training at SMALLER less known schools, & could it be a possible disadvantage to me & others thinking of training this way?
Your help/opinions/advice most appreciated! <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
