You are right polax. The green lobby has aviation in its sights backed up globally by ill informed politicians, ok my view. Flying has been a wonderful career and also a great hobby. If anyone commences flight training , definitely modular, enjoy the ride. At all costs avoid forking out large sums of money to the integrated schools up front. Balpa are wise to issue this warning. Too many bad stories now of crazy levels of debt and limited jobs with limited salaries. A sad state of affairs.
