Are modular students at a disadvantage when applying for airlines?
Loads of BS. You must have asked for opinions to pilots that went down the overpriced, expensive integrated way that have to justify their huge amount of waste of money. I went modular, spent almost a third of what I would have spent had I trained at one of the big integrated schools and have a well-paid job with a great employer. Even better, I have never been in debts. And my school, a popular modular school, could almost be defined as a pilot factory given the number of pilots they have trained over the last few years and 90%+ of us got jobs at established airlines. Some first became instructors before joining the airlines. The training was good and the owners were excellent and if there was an issue, they would take the matter in their own hands. At an integrated school, I would have just been a number.
And one very well known and big European airline has picked this modular school for their mentored program, with only 2 other schools in Europe.
