If any Integrated students who have the available funding and resign from their course after reading this page, are misguided.
The time from selection through to completion can take from 18 months to 2 years before licence issue, and by this time the market will have changed again.
Probably for the better.
Those who are spreading this alarm and despondency should take stock that currently the market is very poor for employment of low hours pilots but that there are positions out there.
So its those coming out in the next few months to a year who will find it hard to get employment.
Those who are about to start their course will find a better climate for jobs when they finish.
Those who think otherwise and post here really do not have any idea about the future and are looking to the short term only.
Recently I have spoken with several potential integrated students, who are as positive about the upturn as I am, and who are willing to obtain their funding and training with a view to obtaining work in 2010 and beyond.
Training schools are actively seeking funding for their potential students, whilst not impossible to obtain, the security requirements are far more stringent, as are the requirements for a backup plan.
Go for your dream guys / girls on whatever route Integrated or Modular.
