I too am in favour of integrated, it is a better way to get an FATPL for sure. The cost difference however is too much by far.

Think what you can do with the 30k youd save by going modular. It is a hell of a lot of money, or if you need to take a loan out to pay for the training, think how much lower the repayments would be. A mate of mine went to OAT, and fair play to em he got an FO job after 6 months. He is however completely crippled by his loan repayments, about 800quid a month I think, to the extent that he cant even afford to put petrol in his car and will not be able to buy a house for about 10 yrs!

jb5000... exactly. It is a market led cost, rather than one properly calculated through profit margins, etc.
