Current information
Hi guys
I’m 28 years old, the past 4 years I have worked at BRU airport and in the past two years I became a pushback operator, gradually I felt more and more ambition to become an airline pilot.. actually I always wanted to be one but because of financial and educational choices I never chased that dream untill I finally thought let’s just jump the ship
I found CAE, applied for selection process, passed and got selected to join the integrated ATPL that CAE offers for €116K. Now the bank is willing to loan me that money of I want to put my fathers house on this bet. But ofcourse anyone with a sober mind wouldn’t bet his own home. I felt at lost because I come from a middle class family and I can’t get a sponsership to join that overpriced flight training.
for the past 48 hours I have been reading the forums ON this very website about modular vs. integrated.. post from the 2010’s, pre and post covid.. and looks like the sentiment is best choice is to go for modular..
okay.. I found a nice flight school here in antwerp that has all the license trainings from PPL all the way to CPL.. and if i remember correctly they also had ATPL courses and fixed base sim where lufthansa group cadets went for it.. I believe that other ATO was called EAT.. so it’s best for me to stick to one school. Eventually
however.. I also read posts and comments that says that people doing MPL’s or integrated have more chance to get an interview with airlines especially in today economy.
now i’m a little bit scared.. who wants to burst my bubble, and get foot on the ground.. and tell me what the reality is.. is modular the way to go? And integrated is just an overkill?
