scroggs,
Not wanting to sound too critical, but I have met some of the integrated chaps that have had interviews lined up (with BA et al) even before they start their IRs; I dont think the same can be said for the modular chaps.
From my own personal experience, I have 1600 hours, aged 29 with a f.atpl, however most of these hours are on a SEP and I cant find a jet operator that doesnt want hours on a jet before they will look at your cv. Just wondering are others in the same position???
