Afraz, pull up a comfy chair and read this:

Again, you have had some good advice on this thread. Does it really surprise you that a modular school recommends the modular route, while integrated schools recommend the integrated route? They are all after your money.

For what it's worth, I went modular and had an airline job within three months of finishing the IR. Combination of right place at the right time (my school had a relationship with the airline, who started recruiting FOs a few days after I passed the IR) and a modicum of aptitude. Five of us were interviewed, four got jobs. When we started the type rating course, it was pretty much a 50/50 split between integrated and modular graduates. Make a note of that - the airline had no preference one way or the other.

All of which is good stuff, but pretty academic. We're not recruiting at the moment, so it doesn't matter where you trained - there aren't any jobs. I say again - TIMING IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN CHOICE OF SCHOOL.
