Modular with hour building approx. £35.000 + £35.000 for TR and 500 hours line training, then you get 12 months work, paid with free housing (EJ offer this) - say you get £3.000 a month, that's going to return you £36.000 in around 12 months, and you will have a total of maybe 1200 hours or more on type.
Although I fundamentally agree with you that Modular + TR and line training is a better choice than integrated for the same cost, I wonder what's this 12 months work after the eagle jet line training you're referring to? Are you immediately assuming you'd get a job? I see nothing on the eagle jet website about a paid position.

Edit* Never mind found it. I assume you mean the line training for pilots with a TR section, where the asian bases option comes with 12month guaranteed employment. Do you have any more details of this? I can't find anything more.
