If you are going to start training at 36, go Intergrated, if you go modular then you are putting yourself at a disadvantage. The competition is young and sharp, and they are all comming from intergrated courses. If you go modular, as i did to save money, you should do it only with one school. Airlines want continuity in training, and high standards so they can have a known quantity when they take them on as a first officer. Also remember that your ATPL exam marks count with a lot of airlines, so distance learning might be cheaper, but the full time course will give you better pass marks in the end. Finally the intergrated guys often get a recomendation from their flight school, which opens a lot of doors. Whatever you decide to do, i wish you all the best of luck, just don't give up!!
