"If getting some advanced training in some kind of simulator, or enrolling in to Airline Pilot Programms, believe me it's to your advandage and airlines are looking into that...Is it worth it the money..? ABSOLUTELY"

I don't think so....

"there is also a preference to graduates from flightschools like flight safety or atp...the reason..? Quality of training"

Ah....not really.

Some schools have agreements with some regional airlines. It's a marketing tactic/ploy. If you go to one of these schools, you may have a shot at a job earlier, you may not. You'll pay a high price for the shot of an interview at lower time. There are other options that work just as well and cost less than the big academies and their direct track programs.

Not trying to start a fight, just telling it like I see it...

I agree.....but don't you think that you have more chances of getting a airline job through a school such as FSI or ATP etc.....! No you are not starting a fight ..I do respect your opinion. We are mature men not kids.
I do have friends that graduate from small FBO's and they fly for very respectfull airlines around the globe, so i do agree with you..What I just say it's that (to my opinion) you might have a better chance.

Flight Safety Academy
 
Putting all cost aside, what do you think of fsi in vero. Im headed down that way in september. I have been doing my research for a long time so I know the risk. I just want feedback about the school. I work for an airline now and I have a few people on the inside that can help me with a job. I just want to get the best training the quickest i can.
