Please note there are people who are going to disagree
I'm afraid I'm one of those people 747truth! How can you say people who just want to fly aircraft for the love of it are losers? Fair enough, you're a mercenary and want to earn big bucks, but I find your comments hugely derogatory to the thousands of people who find pleasure from flying a multitude of light aircraft. Ok, they may not be millionaires, but to a lot of people having an enjoyable life outside of work is more important than being wealthy.

And these airlines either require you to have trained in an integrated environment for a new pilot
Correct me if I'm wrong but other than a few fortunate individuals who've played the nepotism card, I wasn't aware of BA or VS taking on recently graduated fATPL's, integrated or modular.

If you want to do it for the love go and do the modular approach and fly 737’s for the rest of your life earning pittance….
I'm flabbergasted, I really don't know what to say. Do BA not use 737's? Do 737 captains on the loco's earn a pittance? Presumably you'll be going straight onto a BA 747 when you leave Jerez with 250 hours?

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with choosing Integrated if that's what you want to do, I just can't believe how many misconceptions you seem desperate to perpetuate. Apologies scameron77 for taking the thread slightly off course.
