Hi Tarmach,
This is the question i Have been asking myself for the past six months. I only know two pilots, a Cap. for JMC (757) who walked straight into the job from the RAF, and a f/o for Easyjet, who went modular over several years.
Even-though they have got there in completely different ways, they both recommended that I went Integrated if I had the choice. (not everyone has the choice I know).
Just for comparison, my PPL instructor and examinar both suggested that I should go Modular, (and cut my teeth properly)!
At the end of the day, I believe that if you can't for whatever reason (money, family etc) go full-time, then go Modular rather than go nowhere!
If however you are lucky enough to have the 45-50K avaliable, and the time to do it, then go Integrated, as this is what i recon a full-time modular course will end up costing you anyway!
I don't belive that Integrated training makes you a better pilot than your modular counter-part, but I certainly doesn't appear to do your future any harm.
It all comes down to your individual circumstances:- age, money, location, responsibilities, aspirations and of course.....at the end of the day WHO YOU KNOW!
Sorry not much in the way of figures was there!
