Absolutely modular!
What I would say is go to PAT in Bournemouth. They estimate £28350 for CPL-ME and IR-ME and fees are included. Add to this £3300 on a full motion simulator (Boeing 747 or 737-200) at European Skybus. The whole thing may take up to six months maximum so allow at least £3000 for rent.
Let's say £5000 for ATPL distance learning with OAA or Bristol GS. I am including hidden costs not payable directly to the ATPL provider, like logistics cost, accommodation and journeys.
Well, these are my estimated and I'm from Italy.
Of course you get your PPL at a flight school or aero club nearby. Allow $10000 for hour building and other costs in the U.S.
You end up spending more or less £50000 for top notch instruction!
