Just because you trained at one of the "big 3" integrated schools does not necessarily make you "high quality". It merely means you had the ability to pay for the course and that you managed to pass it. Airlines are turning to mentored schemes for a number of reasons, one of them being that they want to attract what they deem to be the "right stuff" for their cockpits. This involves pre-selection and mentoring throughout training. Hats off to Cityflyer for commencing a mentored scheme, and good luck to those about to embark on the selection process.
