Following up on my thread above.
I saw this article about a modular student getting into Easyjet and his final stages of modular was done with L3Harris :

Also this one saying that the British Airways Whitetail programme will select potential candidates from 5 major ATOs during/after their training ( integrated and modular ) :

Basically from what I understood, these airlines tend to 'like' students from these schools anyways?
So after some rough calculations, if I were to do my PPL, ATPL and Hour building with a local, more affordable flight school, then go to the big ones to do the rest of the training. The price difference seems quite small around 10-15k, especially if I want to do dual license.
I guess 10-15k is still quite a lot of money and will take some time to pay back?
