Most airlines will put pilot candidates through their own selection procedure. This is likely to include formal interview, simride, groups exercise, psychometric profiling and technical questionaire.

Just why an airline should defer such assesment to an FTO who conducted such testing some 2 years ago is a question that frames itself in my mind.

A 10 hour non-airline specific JOC course is not going to set the world on fire either.

And whilst its nice that you made some industry visits during your training thats really not going to make any difference to employability.

Me? I'd do a modular CPL IR and ATPL exams for about £40,000. I'd then spend the money saved on CTC applications, an FI rating or pay Ryanair for a job.
