Ouch, is that sour grapes too 'FF'
First you have to look at what you want to acheive, secondly 'where' you want to do it, and thirdly how you want to do it.
Modular / Intergrated, does it really matter these days other than how deep your pockets are and how foolish your reasons may be.
I am british born & bread, I took all on board and having completed my training in April this year, in the UK with 260hrs only, I was offered a job as DE FO on a wide body jet and have commenced employment with the company with the Type rating course starting next month on my 1st interview having sent out 100's of CV's.
So to all those out there still looking and fed up with all the crap that a lot of threads generate, keep going, look far a wide if you want it bad, it will happen.
Skippy, i also left a well paid job to pursue this and i was also modular, keep going mate, your dreams will be realised if you want it that much.
And if you think I am talking crap, PM me and i'll prove it!
