and the chap said
I would suggest that in 2001 there were many people in the industry who were not up-to-date with JAA, were still comparing the modular course to the old self-improver route. It is nothing like that, and most of the recruitment managment seem now to be with the programme, although a lot of line and even training pilots will still give advice based on a misconception. One of the Captains I know in a certain large airline with a recruiter who is still a little out of date has spoken to said recruiter's boss and I understand that someone is going to be rebriefed, and the insistence on integrated should be dropped.
So I cannot see any reason at all for choosing an integrated course. As an employee of a modular course provider I may seem biased, but the origin of my feelings in this debate was the integrated school that tried to sell me a completely inappropriate course without ever mentioning that I could try a cheaper route with them.
