Don't fall for that 'we have relationships with airlines' spin, all the schools are at it but is meaningless sales BS. Only the demand from airlines wanting pilots drives anything, as I have said numerous times on this forum there no guaranteed jobs even if you are 'sponsored', come change in world events 9/11, Covid etc. market conditions changes overnight.
It is not worth the extra money (£30K up front I think) especially as a modular student you would be a second class citizen to the 'sponsored' students as they will get priority due to penalty clauses imposed by the airlines. This would apply to any FTO with a significant number of airline cadets. I have known EXCELLENT modular students take less time & even get jobs quicker (with the right market conditions) than those on airline schemes.
All the best but don't burn money just because you have access to it.
Thank you for your honest reply. I'm going to take a look at some modular schools.
