Class at the airlines is like drinking from the proverbial firehose. Too much to absorb too fast. Unless you are truly disciplined, it's too easy to slack off and not study. I learned that from my own experience studying for the writtens. I would have learned more and better, and in less time, if I had attended class, hit the books, and had the overall learning experience instead of just my eyes.00Dog said:When one upgrades at an airline, isn't it a lot of self study? I would think preparing for the writtens and oral on one's own time would be much better practice for the future.
The certificates might appear to be the same because everyone must exhibit the same minimal knowledge and skills to earn them. The difference lies in the quality of the training experience.You also mention the discipline of the larger schools resulting in shorter training times and cost savings. While I agree with the shorter training times, it will still be way more expensive for the same certificates and ratings regardless.
For one thing, no reputable school will "guarantee" a job. A reputable school will talk up the employment opportunities it offers its grads. A school guaranteeing a job is blowing smoke up your rear. Moreover, an astute person would not rely on promises of a guaranteed job from any organization.Is it worth an extra $30K+ for a guaranteed CFI position when he is finished?
