If you are intent on starting your training I would seriously look at the Modular route over the integrated. You can tailor your modular training to work like integrated but less risk.

You can still conduct course full time, but just for example you finish atpl ground school and exams and CPL, but market has no jobs so you can then hold off on IR.

Or you decide when you reach CPL stage, FI is more for you, so you don't do the IR but do flight instructor rating instead.

Another thing is you may go to Cabair or any FTO for that matter, and realise they just aren't for you, for whatever reason. If you tied into integrated, it becomes very difficult to go elswhere. Modular you don't have that problem as such.

I hope this doesn't turn into Mod vs Int debate, but just my opinion.

Keep options open, not close them - especially in current climate. As I always say, forget the glossy brochures, great sales pitch etc... Think and research carefully, and do what is best for you!

Just a thought.
