Going to school where KQ cadets train their pilots does not offer you any advantage.
You will still go through a very rigorous interview process and might still not make it to KQ - ask those who've done this ....
Besides, I was reliably told "KQ does not really care where you learned your flying but how you fly ..."

My advice, find a cheaper school, better weather (Midrand or Lanseria) and if possible do not disrupt your current life - fly right here at wilson or Kisumu (I hear there will be a school there soon ... less traffic etc)

After all is said and done, did you see how many pilots are looking for jobs during the last selection process ?
Maintaining a CPL ME-IR license is not easy for the unemployed ....

I'm NOT discouraging you - these are things to think about ......
