Interesting and thanks - there’s something of a disconnect between regional recruiters and your feedback, as each regional airline recruiter that I’ve personally asked that has a preference indicates 141 over 61. Some recruiters don’t indicate a preference, but each that does values 141 over 61. Given that there’s more senior instructors who actually teach in 61 than there is in 141 schools (where senior folks tend to end up in management/supervision roles), this surprises me. Why is there a perception from these airline recruiters that 141 (although not necessarily degree-granting programs) is better preparation for 121 than 61?
I’m not basing any of this on feedback from flight schools themselves - obviously, they’ll pat themselves on the back.
