Hmmm... you know I'm really not sure HWD. As i've already implied I have very limited direct experience in the training and the recruitment process so I don't want anyone to take anything I say i as fact (I'm sure you're not!).
Really I'm just repeating what I've from some select people involved in the recruitment process. To me it makes sense that some airlines will want to make things easy for themselves, save money and minize risk in this way. I'm sure they're ruling out many pilots of easily acceptable calibre and of course it's unfair to us on the modular route... however the airlines are in a position to be able to this... there's unlikely to be a lack of decent candidates from integrated schools and I can see (and I understand many disagree) how they might present a lower "training risk" purley because they've completed everything whilst being assessed by a single approved organisation.
As i said I'm no authority on this..just saying it as i perceive it.
