I have no problems with people going through the integrated route. If we're all honest, we'd all love to be in a situation where we could go through the integrated route in some form or another. Lucky them really.
However, i totally agree that
SOME of them expect everything to handed to them on a plate. I was shocked when i saw integrated people coming out of the ATPL exams laughing that they knew they may only scrape through. Their loss in the end, having spent alot of other peoples money and not even trying to achieve the highest possible standards in training. I am in no way saying this is the norm for everyone whos gone through the integrated route.
Anyway back to the orginal thread. I'd say go for it... its only money at the end of the day! lifes too short to not taek chances
