jayc004,
Whilst I agree with your comments regarding the relevance of where and with which training provider you do your MCC, I have to add to that comment.
If you use a training provider (For the MCC) whose Instructors are airline current/recent then you have gained an advantage where the "old boys" network is concerned. And that particular network is very important when looking for your first airline job.
But before that advantage can bear any fruit, you have to be able to fly. You may have great crew co-operation skills and attributes, but if you have a poor instrument scan/flying skills then these current/recent airline personnel will be very reticent to recommend you to their company.
I trained at SFC and finished my CPL/IR in January this year. Whilst on my MCC course (In February) I was "noticed" and by the end of May I had started work for one of Europe's major airlines.
The reason why I was "noticed" is because of the raw flying skills I learned from Julie, Steve, Mike and Colin at SFC.
The reason why I chose SFC above other schools is because of the FACT the modular route is in NO WAY a disadvantage when compared to the Integrated route.
Another benefit of modular over integrated is the cost. I am one of those "over 30 people" and as such to get a foot on the airline ladder I always knew I was going to have to pay for a type rating on the 737. However, having chosen SFC, carefully choosing my training provider for the MCC and not going the integrated route, I found that the money I spent, (Inclusive of 737 type rating) cost significantly less then an integrated course. And I am now in the right seat of a 737-800, being paid to fly.
As are many others who trained at SFC, several of them in the company I work for.
I'm not in any way profiting from SFC for recommending them. I merely submit this post to allow others to read about my experience (which was positive) and make the correct choice for themselves.
