I personally think it stinks either way, modular students don't get a look and integrated is wince-makingly expensive, for what though? Still a CAA test to to earn your CPL, still CAA ATPL exams. I think scroggs had it with the sausage factory comment, Airlines like integrated because they are taught to fly like they are flying an airliner from day 1. Its easier to fit a low hours integrated pilot into an EFIS cockpit than a similar modular pilot. The price is astronomical because you really do pay for the brand of a company like CTC or OAT etc. Although if you could do a modualar course at OAT would that be looked upon negatively purely based on whether the training was integrated or modualar in structure?
It's certainly a pickle
