The total cost of my training was £55,000 That included my living expenses a few beers and day to day living over 15 months. I did a modular course and came out at the end with little over 200 hours. I have been very fortunate to get my first job flying 737s..... The airline I work for were more interested in me as person and could I fly the sim, than did I go through a modular / intergrated course. Perhaps for other airlines it is important. I dont see it being an issue and am thankful that there are some airlines out there that dont either. It can and has been done.
