Riciardi, please re-read the original post, in particular the following part:

What I would like to know is if anyone has any information on how much employers take into account the FTO you choose to train at, specifically for the modular route.
There is no reference to type ratings.

SVoa, good post. I particularly agree with your first paragraph. The only points I would raise about the second is that there are more modular students (maybe 3-4 times more) so even if there are 2-3 times more employed than integrated, the integrated schools may stll be getting a better employment percentage. However I don't know the actual statistics, I'm not sure anyone does.
The other point to be made is that I have had similar discussions with airline recruiters who told me that when they are swamped with CVs, they need a means of reducing the number of applicants to interview. That is why they chose only to review applicants from "well respected" FTOs.
