Even BA and easyjet are taking modular candidates nowadays so this idea that integrated is the only way is nonsense.
Of course each path has its pluses and minuses, and people should go in with their eyes fully open as it's a hell of a lot of money that's being spent to train (even with old prices).
And you're also right on pricing too. Six figures is standard.
Though modular is catching up too. A friend shared with me what Aeros had offered him on their structured modular course and I was a bit taken aback at the total - up 50% since pre-Covid.
