FTOs and general questions about flight training...we need feedback please.
Hey all,
I know these questions have been asked so many times but im going to ask them again for myself and for any other people going into training.
I'm looking for feedback from people who have completed training or know people who have and preferably who are employed by the airlines now.
Firstly i want to know what you think about modular vs. integrated? I know most will say it all depends on personal preference but is that true or do the airlines prefer one over the other.
People are constantly saying that a lisence is a lisence and it doesnt matter where you get it, i know for a fact that that is not true so from that alone it shows that there seems to be a lot of misled people here giving false info (no offence to anyone).
Most of us all want to fly the big airlines here someday soon so thats telling me that the best places to ask our questions are the airlines themselves. I'm not sure if anyone here can speak for the airlines but if you can please do.
Where do the airlines prefer you to train? Theres so much giving out about OAT for example here but do the airlines tend to recruit more from there or not? If that is the case then we shouldnt be putting it down constantly and giving out about it, we should be training there. I'm just using that as an example because thats the main way they advertise their courses.
In summary, where do the airlines want you to study? what type of course do they want you to do? Would they prefer you to do your training all at the one place or at the best places for each part of your training? what other things do they want in a pilot?
Thanks and I'm sure your replys wont just help me but will help a lot of other wannabe pilots out there also.
