The idea that airlines will force the ceasation of self sponsored Modular training depends on your definition of 'airline' to an extent.
It may well be the case that the large household brand airlines will only take people from Integrated courses, their own heavily bonded sponsorships or a CTC administered placement scheme.
However there are dozens of smaller operators out there who will continue to hire self sponsored Modular trained pilots. I'd be politely presenting myself at the door of perhaps Aer Arran, Eastern or Loganair. Or Southwest or Aurigny or a night freight operator. Air taxi work is doing well at the moment. 185hrs and a spanking training report from 'LargeFTO Ltd' still cuts little ice with a lot of these sorts of companies which lack HR departments implementing a recruitment strategy approved at board level.
In little time with such a job you'll have an unfrozen ATPL and maybe 2000 hrs of commercial experience and suddenly the worlds your lobster.
Good luck,
