There are only four pillars of employment..stop debating...these are the facts.
1) You will get a job if you are a really good pilot (guaranteed)
2) You may get a job if you are very rich (although you might not keep it)
3) You might get a job if you are very lucky...although you might fail training, or IOE. prey you have a great IOE captain, or are really good!
4) You are very well connected...although as in option 3 you will get fired unless you are really good...
If you are really GOOD..you will get noticed eventually. In my airline, anything but 'really good' get's fired in week 3.
Don't worry about integrated, modular, yadda yadda yadda.. if you're any good you'll get a job. Cream always rises!
See the best of you on the line...not bitching on PPrune!
