I personally find it incredibly insulting that a training captain with a major UK airline seems to think that integrated (or CTC) cadets have been given an easy route (compared to modular students) to gaining the little blue book.
Then you must be wandering around looking for something to get insulted by.
Son, try sorting out your own PPL, then hour building abroad, then finding a CPL and IR school whilst studying your ATPL at home in the evening after work. Then book your own exams, sort out all your travel and accomodation requirements and manage the finances over 18 months. Do all that without 11 other course mates for support and encouragement.
That's the NON-Spoonfeeding way of doing it.
Do you see there is a slight difference?
Its not something imagined. I'm not prejudiced either way and I know the pros and cons possibly better than anyone else as I've spent an unhealthy portion of my life on this planet moderating the never ending story that is the Modular vs Integrated debate.
Nothing wrong with spoonfeeding.
