Some carriers don't care which school you attend so long as you went. Other require the course to have a min amount of hours, and still others want to see a PTDI certification or something similar. Often times though, the shortest schools, which IMHO are the biggest mills, are the carrier based ones. Make the student do all the book work solo, then run them through a 2 week crash course with 50 others and send them out with a trainer.
And yes, there are some drivers who have attended some really, really crappy schools who do have major problems getting hired.
Anyone looking at attending a private school should find one that is 160 hours or more. These are generally accepted by 98% of carriers.
