Assume................hate that word.

Okay a bit of common sense, I have just got back from Lyon, long day.
I am a ex modular student, I know many ex modular students. Guess what, we all have Jobs with Airlines, flying Boeing and Airbus's. I have met many pilots, but have yet to meet a FO who is intergrated, with the exception of Ryanair. But of course to join Ryanair, you have to pay for a rating.

I am a contact pilot, in Africa in a dammed good job. My employer could not give a damm where I trained, what my pass rates where etc. But you know, he wanted to know if I could fly a plane.

I am not going to get into a discussion regarding Intergrated v Modular, both have merits and has been done to death here. There is no basis for a Assume, you make a ASS out of U and ME also.

You get a job through bloody hard work, ringing people, chasing contacts etc, not because you went to a shiny Intergrated school. Those days have gone.

Whatever you decide, good luck.
