Foghorn - that is a good question! I have started to ask myself the same thing, but who knows what will happen. If it transpires in the future that we will be deprived from applying directly to CF, BRAL and Brymon then that is probably bad news not just for self-improvers but also for self-sponsored integrated students as well. Brymon and the others are not just being used as training airlines, following the addition of regional jets many a pilot could quite possibly see out his/her career with them.
I think we will just have to sit tight and wait to see what finally happens. However, it's another concern to add to the long list we self-sponsored already have!
