Danny,
I must say thank you for taking your time to write that, its very inspiring. I'm studying for my ATPL theory at the moment, and it is easy with all the studying to loose sight of the very goal that I am studying for.
It's also good to hear information 'from the horses mouth' - from a line pilot that has experience of recruiting new pilots. I am taking the modular route, and to be honest, even if I had £60K, I would still take the modular route. With all the saved money, I would go on a few luxury holidays and do lots of flying to gain more experience. So spending £60K the modular route means more flying experience and more fun.
