Disregard Piperindian. I have an unfrozen ATPL despite his rantings.
I would also be careful of thinking that airlines 'prefer' integrated courses(Batty), who does? It's supply and demand and as far as I'm aware they select you based on;
1. Who do you know?
2. How many hours do you have on type?
3. How many hours do you have on 'big' jets?
4. How many hours do you have on jets?
5. How many hours do you have on turbo-props?
6. How many hours do you have on twins?
7. How many hours do you have on singles?
How you got the licence is 'interview conversation' if you have low hours. What they really want to hear is about your Determination, Reliability and Flexibility.
If you still want to do it then do it. Be determined as it isn't easy, but don't think that any airline owes you jack sh!t. They are not interested in Piperindian sob stories..........................
Be lucky
