Mad Jock,
I can confirm we are still on the look out for good flying instructors. We have a steady throughput to the airlines.
The majority of these are Modular students. Several have come through our own training and continued to the instructor route either by choice (to gain more experience) or simply to keep active while they await their first break into the airlines.
Our latest instructor to go (Paul) keeps up to date on Pprune and is in the final stages of his Loganair type rating. Gordon who completed his CPL/MEIR with us is half way through his instructor course.
So the trend continues and I can confirm Modular students DEFINATELY have a good chance of jobs. There is a good argument that Modular students have better experience as they are off flying themselves early in their training.
Our courses are all Modular as we link to AST based at our airport in Perth for the ground school. We have had a few instructors who have developed from Integrated courses who have also moved on. The big thing we think makes a difference is the persons attitude - this speaks volumes more than how they completed their training.
