Phychological nonsense and charachter assasinations aside
, I passed my IR a few months before 9/11 and it was just a minor blip for recruitment compared to what is happening now. If you think diggafile that you can compare what happened then to what is happening now you are very confused, it's like comparing stubbing your toe with loosing a leg
btw, there is no difference between modular and integrated, I trainned at a school which took both, intergrated mixed with modular doing the CPL and IR and no one really knew who was who, it certainly wasn't discussed, things may have changed since, if they have then trainning schools need to take a good look at themselves.
I'm not sure i'd want to associate myself with anyone who viewed either type of student differently and if I was involved with recruitment in an airline I certainly wouldn't want to employ someone like that. They're either going to have a chip on their shoulder or a superiority complex, both particularly unpleasant traits.
