have been told by Integrated School (Cabair) that you can get a start careerwise with less hours because employers view the Integrated route differently to the modular route.
To mis-quote Mandy Rice-Davies, "Well, they would say that, wouldn't they".
When helicopter operators were recruiting (and none are at the moment), their requirements were for hours and experience (usually in the thousands of hours) therefore, whether the initial training is integrated or modular is usually irrelevant.
You're far better off going the modular route and use the money you save to get more hours or maybe an FI rating.
