I have been wondering if most new pilots in europe are from integraded courses from big FTO's?
As has been so well demonstrated above, nobody has the slightest clue what the answer is.
This regurgitated thread always goes the same way; everybody quotes anecdotal evidence; "in my airline most people are from xxx background" (which always corresponds to their own choice of training route) and then gives that to be the definitive answer.
And then someone inevitably says "save money, go modular!"
Someone else uses the words "rich daddy" and "Cathay Pacific" and it all goes downhill from there!
Pprune, dontcha just love it?
