It takes more flight time to reach the experience level to get the commercial license. As a result the 141 graduate has to bridge that gap in flight time when looking for a job therefore 141 can be a disadvantage.

The school I work for will only hire CFI's trained under 141. This is due to lower requirements to train intial CFI's. If you trained and recieved your CFI part 141, you can instruct initial CFI's at 400 dual given and a 80% pass rate instead of the onld 200 dual given and holding your CFI for 2 years. This shave over a year off of me being able to instruct initial CFI's
