In my experience, the "10 day PPLs" didn't stop
there, they go on to accelerated Instrument, Multi,
Commercial and CFII with their sights set on
United Airlines. I have been BFR'd by a couple of
them and they made it clear they were "Building
time to get to the Captains seat".

Granted, in such a person, obviously that "comprehension gap" that the other
poster mentioned would hopefully close as they move on to each rating.

But I've heard more than one instructor say that's the part they cringe at --
people coming into it (traditional, not accelerated) wanting to race through
their PPL on their way to ATP, as if that's going to get them into the airlines
faster. I've been told, from someone who tried this, that they absolutely *do*
look to see what kind of training you had and that accelerated courses are
generally not looked upon with the same degree of consideration. Owner of one
of the flight schools recently was saying that he has found that the CFIs who
have clawed their way up and paid their dues to be the most competent and
successful, with those who have nothing but accelerated courses being viewed as
red flaggers who *generally* (not always) don't work out for one reason or
another in his experience. This may or may not be the case universally.

Unless you have the examiners and the people who do the hiring for the airlines
here to offer their firsthand input, it's all speculation/opinion/hearsay.
