Well, 141 and 142 are used by professional schools because they allow you to get thru faster than with a 61 program. Your right that the airlines don’t look at that. However, the additional training is looked at. My school has an airline transition course, and there are airlines that have contracts with use to hire with lower hours because we have completed transition training.
