It does indeed. This is just my personal view, so please no fiery attacks saying I'm talking rubbish! I'm starting at OAT in December on the integrated course for a number of reasons:
1. I have a PPL but it has now lapsed (so I guess I don't really) which can only really give me an advantage as the hours spent learning to land the thing shouldn't really be needed and I can hopefully go onto harder stuff, quicker.
2. Modular courses are great, but you can't escape the facts: The big airlines seem to like integrated.
3. I want to get it done quickly instead of messing about for years.
4. Most people's arguments for modular seem to be that they did it and therefore it must be better.
5. The arguments for integrated seem to be mostly that people thought it was good. I prefer to go with the positive argument!
6. I'm not exactly a spring chicken, so I want to maximise my chances of getting a job.
Hope this helps your thoughts. As I say - just my reasons for doing integrated. Some people might think I'm nuts, but I'd like to think my brain is able to weigh up the options and make a good decision!
