Clanger I have to say you make some extremely valid points in your posts. I can't understand why BSmuppet is arguing the point so vigorously. The reason the like of OAA and all the rest don't put the end of career earnings point on their glossy brochure is because they also offer modular routes so they would be shooting themselves in the foot. Plus you don't try to sway opinion to either route whereas BSmuppet you are really pushing the modular route with your deliberately misleading figures
Anyway, to the original poster, if you have the money, or part thereof along with a loan, to go down the integrated route and are intent, for God knows what reason due to current job market/economic climate, to qualify asap, then do that. If you don't have the money or are not in a huge rush then do the modular route. Better yet, take rugbyears advice and bury yourself in all the information you can get, contact the airlines, talk to current serving pilots and once you have enough information then make an educated decision based on that. Otherwise, as has been proven in this and so many other posts on here, things decend into petty squables between those that advocate modular and those that advocate integrated, leaving you no better off than when you started.
