Bealzebub sums up many of my thoughts as well. I think if I was a lot younger and had the money at the time I would have done CTC for the same reasons. I don't know anything other than what I've heard a few examiners say about the quality of the training but I'm led to believe it's good. If it's jets you want to fly it makes little sense to do anything else in spite of the large outlay.
Now, that said modular offers something different and if you're careful about where you choose your training you will might have a more enjoyable time of it. I did modular and enjoyed pretty much all of my training at the same time learned a whole load of stuff I would not have picked up at a pilot factory. Do I believe that after a similar amount of experience that I would be a better pilot than an integrated graduate? No I don't think so, I do have more varied exposure to lots of different kinds of flying and perhaps a more relaxed attitude towards "the different ways of skinning the cat" but then again I did a fair bit more flying than just PPL/hours/CPL-MEIR before I started on the Turbo props and yes I'm still significantly better off than similar people who work in the same job as me who came out of an integrated school.
I do want to fly jets at some point though and I'm convinced that my road to them may in fact be blocked by both my age and how I gained my licence.
Okay, so that's it for me. As B said the integrated route will get you into jets faster (as the market stands at the moment) than modular. Integrated isn't as crippling in the long term as you might think but it is a lot of money.
Modular is cheaper and CAN mean you outlay less, you will also get a fair bit more exposure to different ways of doing things and you may find it more comfortable longer term when you come to deal with different styles of Captains, it wont harm your chance to move into GA flying and smaller airlines.
Okay, on to schools. CTC for Integrated, what I've heard from recent past students of OAA that much of the training is really not great.
Modular, you live in Exeter, at Exeter airport is one of the finest schools in the UK (Airways Flight Training) it's not shiny but the quality is excellent, you'll have a lot of fun and you'll meet quite a few interesting people who have been flying in the military, a very small number aren't much fun but the overwhelming majority are really great fun. I've sent at least 5 pals to them and they have all come out very happy indeed. Go there and save the cost of accomodation
.
All things considered it's a risk judgement, how much you want to bet on which method will achieve the results.
But before you do ALL of that, do a PPL! You may find you don't enjoy it as much as you think
I started there and have to say, I would rather be doing nothing else.
