I think what is being missed here is that the market is still on it's arse and from experience, when you finish modular training (as I did) with minimum hours, even buying a type rating won't get you into a job easily.
So, don't forget to bolt on some more hour building and maybe even a one or two LPC renewals before you land a job..
I'd still never go down the integrated route even though it was a roller coaster of a ride before I finally found a job..
