I'm in a similar position. I'm not concerned about modular taking longer, the integrated programmmes are just integrated, not accelerated. I'm sure I can qualify within 18 months, subject to unforseen issues.
I am concerned about job opportunities though. I'm struggling to find many airlines currently hiring fresh modular pilots. The BA NQPP doesn't seem to be open to new applicants after being only recently announced (am I wrong about this? There is info on their website but no application route for it). Several airlines (ba, tui, easyjet) have their own cadet routes, is this going to crowd out their interest in modular students?
Am I missing something? How many opportunities are there out there for fresh modular graduates right now? Are the airlines picking up cadets from the integrated schools to save the cost and bother of running open hiring campaigns to find modular students?
