I just don't understand why everyone is so negative about the integrated route.
Ok I get that the initial 65K is a lot of money but is this type of intensive training good for a new pilot. Learning everything in a short space of time thus not having time to forget anything or become complacent or pick up bad habits.
And with so hard work - good results and the right attitude there must be jobs out there.
No one on this forum is saying don't train to become a pilot they are only saying don't do it integrated because of the cost I suppose.
So Modular would take me between 2 and 4 years depending on how quickly i took it all and Integrated would take between 1 and 2 years.
Modular would cost between 50 - 70K to get to fATPL with around 300hrs.
Integrated would cost between 65 - 80K for the same.
If I am being really dumb please spell it out but as I have the money and time available why is the Integrated route so bad
HidekiTojo you say avoid CABAIR unless you are mentally tough, surely that is a trait desired from an airline in their pilots? And secondly surely a tough school is better than one that will just let you swan through without pushing you and the airlines will know that also.
