Cool Help!!

Hi everyone,
I'm afraid I am another newcomer looking for help from all you knowledgeable people. I reckon I'm gonna beat the pants off Eno in the 'longest first letter competition'!! I'll try to keep it to a minimum. Like everyone else I am an aspiring pilot. I live in Dublin and take lessons as often as I can afford - ie not very often. Only out of college, I have just secured a school teaching job for next year to help me save up some money to pay for training. So that is my background!!
Question 1. Having been sent lots of brochures etc it seems like Air Med is a damn sight cheaper than a lot of other colleges (in Euro terms). Has anyone been there/know anything about it?
2. How have you people managed to pay for your training?
3. Integrated or modular? I've heard integrated is better.
4. What airlines offer sponsored training? I am aware of Aer Lingus, BA, BMI, Air 2000. Any others that I am missing?
5. Is it true that some airlines prefer that you don't have too much flying experience before doing their cadet course? I've heard this is true of Aer Lingus?

Sorry it's so long guys, but please help me.
Thanks everyone.
