All integrated schemes are scams. Pure marketing scams sustained by very little competence...apart from the marketing departments.
National authorities supporting this is also criminal. The whole vicious circle of students not daring to open their mouth for fear the sausage factory might ruin their career even though they havent flown for a month, that instructors are retards, that ATPL training is outdated. Losers "dumping their bags" on new entrants (hello Ponzi) because they've already invested before those and need a job they couldnt find elsewhere (hello cool instructors), and so on... This industry has disgusting aspects for sure. Good luck to all the good people trying to live their dream though.
