Re: Advice to become a pilot

Just for Frank's information, I have not had to borrow the full amount, just some, and it is through re-mortgage not a bank loan. With that amount, I have allowed £5k contingency. (Won't be doing PPL as going integrated at OAT, although have paid for, so far, 42hrs in Tomahawk out of Nottingham)

As for whether integrated helps you secure a job easier is debatable but perhaps a little research on hours required for Interview with, for example, BA Citiexpress - correct me if I'm wrong but you required 1000hrs with 50 in the last 12 Months on Modular, just 50hrs in the last 12 months if graduate from approved integrated course. It’s debatable in the fact that the extra expense over Modular is probably more than it would cost to hour build. Anyway, that is up to the individual involved and the finance available - lets not turn this into a Mod v Int debate - been there..done that!
