Aspiring airline pilot... I have approx 210 hrs, Private and instrument... working on commercial. Contemplating on which way to turn at this point in terms of staying at the local flight school and finishing up comm, multi and CFI or whether I should move on and go to one of the larger named schools like ATP, Comair Academy or Flight Safety. Not sure whether the airlines see that as being of a higher value having come through their training or not. Additionally, would it serve me better going to a larger named school so that I would be able to build up time faster than I would potentially at the local fbo. I know we have the hiring freeze right now, but once it ends I would like to be in the best place possible to get picked up. I have a good job right now that is helping me pay for my flight training, and I would be giving that up to go for the bigger school... would it be worth it or not to put me in the right position? Maybe I'm just a sucker for these companies advertisements, but it just sounds very tempting to me when you read that Charlie from TX or Valarie from Va simply paid 18K and now they are for sure sitting in the right seat for some airline. Thanks for the input!
