Wouldn't go intergrated in one of the big schools and pay €100,000. Same licenses at the end of the day, dont know how some people are willing to fork out an extra 30-40k+ to get the same licences only tad bit quicker. I'd be more concerned with 1st time passes and scoring very High in the exams themselves.
Only go intergrated if you're on a tagged cadetship in my opinion, Most FTOs say their airline partners are the likes of BA,Aer Lingus,Easyjet,Thomson etc they are partners but only selected cadets, Next time CTC,OAA or FTE saying "You have a better chance of getting into BA if you're intergrated" BA haven't taken fresh fAtpl in years apart from FPP and so many other airlines with cadet program's.
Modular vs intergrated most end up in Ryanair anyway! even some flying props isn't bad either, it's all about getting 1,500 hours then having all the options available to you, One other note Integrated vs Modular its down to the person at the end of the day, One guy Intergrated has an awful interview and doesn't seem captain material the other fello Modular and has what it takes to make it to the left seat and performs better he should get the job vice-Versa.
Also the "Pilot shortage" don't hold your breath for that its happened before where they've said it will happen and guess what! It didn't, If there is one by any chance majority of jobs will be in the Far East, Aisa another question you have to ask to yourself how far are you will to travel for work. All I will say Is learn the industry well before you make your final decision! it's an industry that changes in a heart beat
