They always do this. 9/11....SARS....the 2008 crash.....The integrated schools see their profit in the flying courses rather than groundschool and so try and attract students in to modular groundschool to somehow tie them in to completing the flying with them. Its an act of desperation mostly because (1) the modular groundschools are much better at delivering distance learning courses than they are, the integrated instructors have to fundamentally change how they teach, and that's actually quite difficult, and (2) the concept is ultimately flawed, even if they do attract students to the ATPL theory courses the whole idea of modular is that, once complete, the customers can go off and do a modular CPL IR with a training provider that really knows how to deliver value for money. Some people will take the offer, though, they always do, and memories are short.
