Dear CZ,
I thought I had posted a reply, but I cannot have. [Must have pressed the destruct button, rather than the 'post' one.]
The course I was looking at included a year as an intern instructor. That would have allowed me to finish with all the professional qualifications and 1500hrs under the belt. That would have been nice.
I am currently in a low paid profession. In order to go the modular route, I have to change profession, then do the modular training, then change profession again. Although that will have the advantage of leaving me without the significant debt at the end of it.
I already have the PPL and nearly 100hrs.
If I were able to do the integrated route, I would end up potentially ready for the airlines just before my 41 birthday.
Going modular, this will not be until I am 43 (or 45 with the same number of hours).
Every minute makes one less employable, I believe.
So, those are my reasons... now looking for modular solutions.
