The argument from one or two of the airlines that have only taken integrated in the past is that they would be happy to accept modular candidates if they could get a reliable training report from a modular FTO or a series of modular FTOs - hence the new emphasis at OAT on modular training and, probably, hence the blather about how important it is to train at one place.
It's obviously easier for someone who's trained at Cabair or OAT to get a report on a his/her training than someone who's trained at a number of schools. One or two of the providers of 'structured modular' courses (Aeros/Multiflight/Stapleford) are addressing this by getting their training programs ticked in advance by these airlines so that they can provide said reports when requested. Once it is set up it would require us or London Guildhall to raise the part of the report for groundschool whereas the FTO would report on the IR and skills test etc. It's a new thing, and probably a good thing.
