Its lovely that certain people who took certain training routes offer pro and con opinions.

But. I have been both a Modular and an Integrated flying instructor and have worked at small, medium and the very large schools. I tell you now, the quality of instructing is best outside of the sausage factories and away from the tiddlers. Like so many things in life the sweet spot is found around halfway up the price/prestige/size curve.

What suits you, your timing, budget and situation is for you to know. What suits the hiring market varies violently.

But my opinion, if you want aircraft availabilty, instructor continuity, advantageous airfields and good confident personal training then your money ain't best spent at the largest schools. Wannabes often mistake volume for quality. So they buy the Ford and ignore the Lotus. One gives you so much more bang for your buck and added fun..

Nobody every listens though.
