Angry Only Integrated?

Hi all,
Well, I've just been up to visit an FTO to ask about their integrated scheme, fully expecting the normal marketing talk, 'pilot shortages' etc.

What I was told is that most of the major carriers only take integrated students. Now from reading these boards I think that this is rubbish, but it would be nice to be reassured (or corrected). Which carriers only take integrated?

I was also told that the days of people working their way up via instucting, charters, regionals etc was gone, and that these days its all about integrated schemes.... again, any comments?


One last thing, how much of an employment advantage do these integrated students really have over modular.
I was told that airlines look for more than the basic licences, and only an integrated course can provide all these things. Not too sure about this either

Slightly put off/depressed by all this
