Hi, I am also seriously considering to start a career in aviation but, as a lot of people, still not sure which path to follow. On one side I like the modular route, on the financial side but also because the fact that you have a lot of freedom by completely outlining your own course path.
On the other side, the integrated route looks also very attractive to me in terms of study time and the contacts an integrated FTO possibly has with airliners (differs per school ofcourse...)
But, for me, with almost zero flight experience as a PIC (only did a discovery flight which I really enjoyed
) I find it a huge step to go from here all the way to a frozen ATPL. So personally I prefer a path of first getting a PPL and THEN decide to make the step all the way to a frozen ATPL. So some kind of an integrated course after you've got your PPL but without the PPL part of course.
Can someone tell me if this kind of path exists or is it just foolish
what I am thinking of and is modular the only option in this situation. Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance!
