Does the flight school matter?
This is my first ever post on pprune so I apologise if this is a common question or not posted in the correct spot.
I obtained my PPL a couple of years ago in South Africa and I have moved to Brisbane, Australia. My hope is to get it converted and start working towards my CPL with a dream of ATPL and airline flying in the years to come.
My question at the moment is, does the flight school where you obtain your CPL have a big bearing on gaining employment in GA?
I have checked out a few schools at Archerfield but hire rates are much cheaper at Redcliffe. I get the impression that aviation jobs are a case of having the skills and knowing the right people more than anything but I could be very wrong.
Any tested advice would be much appreciated thanks.
