You pays your money and you takes your choice!
The one thing that is certain on this subject is the modular guys will vote modular and the integrated guys will vote integrated …nothing changes.
There are good points for both… and both are good. A lot depends on your personal circumstances AND…finances.
However, WWW is right. Things at the moment probably favor the modular student, who has the ability to ‘pace’ their training.
Nobody is being hired right now with a couple of hundred hours.
OK, there may be the 'odd' exception, but the airlines can pick and choose… and they are.
It’s guys with a 1,000 plus hours whose phones are ringing, and that IS starting to happen.
Now, the modular route does allow you to build hours instructing and the like, …just like things used to be. The other advantage is that you can spread the costs. Your IR can wait a a while while you instruct, build up hours, become a better pilot, and are ready when the market comes back to full strength,. which it will. That way your money ain’t spent all in one huge burst and your IR will be a LOT easier with some more hours under your belt.
Anyway, that’s my view, but no doubt, the guys who have forked out 60k on integrated courses will have a different view.
Thing is, both have their advantages.
Good luck
