Myself, along with several others I know, became hangar rats at our respective local airfields. Worked long and hard, got our hands dirty but earned favour and many free hours afterwards. Cheap PPLs and hours building, working 3 jobs (plus cleaning club aircraft, sweeping hangars etc) and you can get a fATPL for about £40k. You will make contacts who will be worth their weight in gold when you are qualified if you can make a good impression, the kind of opportunity you don't get at pilot factories.
Integrated, despite the marketing, offers no guarantees. Ryanair do not only take on Oxford's integrated students. I think ACKAIR's point is to with your attitude, both in the air and on the ground. If you have a good approach (no pun intended) to aviation and can keep your skills up, you will go places.
Good luck!
