Do airlines care which school you go to?
Just wondering.... Do recruiting airlines judge an applicant on which school they've done their training at?
For example, if you said on your application that you had trained for your fATPL at ,say, CCAT or OAT, are you any more likely to get an interview/job than someone who trained at a smaller, less well known school, or don't they mind, so long as it was an approved course? (I'm on about before they've met you or given you any tests or anything).
Also, when I was at the Flight Training Show at Heathrow earlier in April, the guy from BA that did the seminar on what they look for when they recruit pilots said that certain flying schools are able to recommend you to BA (if you're good enough!), but he wouldn't say which ones. I had a sore throat and completely lost my voice whilst I was there (just my luck!), so I couldn't ask the flying schools if they could recommend to BA. I'm guessing Cabair and Oxford do it (didn't they run the old BA cadet schemes?); does anyone know of any others?
