It’s a gamble - you either wait out and hope for one of those spots, or crack on with Modular or integrated. I’m sure there’s plenty of integrated students with a few exam passes annoyed that they can’t apply as well. Just how it is.
You’ve made the right call going Modular. I’ve said it before, rudestuff speaks an awful lot of sense regarding career earnings and taking credit now to get ahead. What good is feeling righteous and noble about not borrowing but spending 4 years less as a training captain on training captain money? Not all debt is ‘bad’, ask anyone with a mortgage!
it hasn’t always been that way. 4 years ago I was applying to cadet schemes with no experience whatsoever, and there were successful candidates with ATPLs complete. This has only come about this year..
I hear your point, it makes sense. Although difficult to ignore sponsorship opportunities!
