Hello,

I've been reading this forum with continued interest and now would like my conundrum to be put forward with some advice from yourselves.

I am a modular student , having done no training with the big four.
I passed most of the ground school first time (Perf !! on the second attempt), Distance Learning.
Did PPL at Oxford (not OAT but another school)
Hour building, Night and IMC in Florida.
IR in Spain. Yes, I did that first due time constraints at work.

I'm about to complete the Modular flight training, ie,the CPL part in Florida.
I have been quite shrewed and only owe about 8000 quid.

Having read this thread and the BALPA conference thread.
I have concluded that if you want a job, you must do the following:
1 Gone to one of the big four FTO.
2 Intergrated or Full-time Modular (CTC)
3 Be prepared to fund an extra 15-20 thousand for a type rating.

If this is the case. I am now considering ceasing training and cutting my losses.

What are your suggestions.

P.S I'm 34. So no spring chicken.
