You are sponsored by an Airline, but have clearly gone through the modular route.
Were you sponsored from the beginning of your training?
It does not sound as if you are with the usual sponsors who use modular via Cabair or Atlantic.
Were you sponsored for your full course or did you pick it up part way through?
Reason for asking is that I would like to find a sponsor who will take you on with a CPL and FI and sponsor the IR and type rating bit at some stage.
