Good on you, AJ! Use your time among pilots to find as much as you can about the business and the training system. Don't let any one person (even me! I work for an FTO
) bias you, get a broad perspective, visit some schools. Enjoy finding out what is out there.
It is actually quite true that what you put is a reason people go integrated. I was like that, but no-one told me the difference so I ended up full-time modular at one school, with which I was very happy, until they went bust leaving me down £2400 and a job (was working for them by then!).
However you do it, best of luck!
