My £70k estimate for Integrated is based on CABAIR. Oxford and Jerez (depends on Euro/Sterling a bit) are more and CTC slightly more again.
When times were booming it paid to go Integrated. Fast, get in before the music stops, airlines getting recruitment planning wrong and pick up the phone to the large FTO's. It all made sense.
When times are awful it pays to go Modular. Slow, pace your spending to the job market, keep your debt low and be able to service it for longer until airlines get their recruitment numbers wrong again. I all makes sense.
Unfortunately where we've ended up is an expenditure arms race where a seemingly endless supply of Zombie Wannabes, some might call them an Army, seem willing and able to spend, 80, 90, 120 thousand pounds on flying training. This leaves most unable to compete and makes the job of First Officer a profit stream for airlines.
Keeping your debt low allows you to stay in the game longer and that is far more important than where you trained and how the syllabus was structured.
