Flying
Hi Graham,
Cheers for taking the time to write about your experiences in aviation recruitment. I'm actually into my IR and should be done with all stages in the next few months, so integrated now is not really an option with this.
I agree with you about the consistency with the CV and the background history, however alot of my friends are modular lads, and its tough to gauge what the job response in the market will be having done training this way. Anyway, im not going to enter the Integrated vs modular debate for the moment, and im not sure how employers respond to modular students. However one question does come to my mind - if there are approximately 40-50 flying schools in the UK (from PPL to ME/CPL/IR), and from those, only 3 are integrated cabair/oaa/FTE, then surely statistically one is assuming that more then 80% of new 250 hour graduates are less likely to get a job versus those graduates from the integrated schools. It suggests the majority might be wasting their time - which gut says isn't the case.
Anyhow, lets see what happens!
