No because there are some right muppets who go through BAE. You could be one of them.

There are similar muppet ratios at all the major FTO's. Just going somewhere impresses no-one. Perhaps passing all exams above 90% and all flight tests first time plus getting a glowing reference from the Instructors and CFI might impress someone a tiny bit.

But not much.

Flying out of say White Waltham and getting to know that bloke over there in the corner, Gerry - lovely chap, who is a senior training captain with Large Jet Airways, might do you a power more good.

Choosing schools that you think will get you a job is like trying to teach girls to throw properly. Difficult and pointless.
