Modular is soon to be phased out or heavily modified with the use of only 2 training establishment being allowed.
There is also the question of the new Multi Crew pilots licence which includes a type rating and the course is tailored to the future type.
If you want the best chance of getting a job quickly after training try getting on a scheme with an airline or go integrated if you can spare the time and have the cash.
The cheap way may close soon, and if those in their respective CAA's have their way the industry will only accept an integrated form of training.
I still defend my "Best of The Best" statement but I dont agree that the results justify the method or type of selection.
A good hands on pilot may not be the most academic or vice versa,
and its usually a combination of DFO, Chief Pilot, or Training manager who based on their experience have the final say when selecting for their schemes.
Thanks to Adios again, his words are enlightening and correct.
From feedback that I have personally received during my research OAT may have raised the bar slightly over the last year but it will be several months until those students are finished with their course, and the results broken down and compared with previous courses.
If you do not get in first time then the final debrief will contain an indication when or if you should try again.
If at first you dont succeed..... etc.
Good luck to all of you out there, starting out on Integrated or modular route.
