there isn't much of a market in the airline world for 200 hour wannabes.
Couldn't agree more.

The way I see it, you have three options if you want to be a pilot:

The easy way (if you can afford it) - integrated.
The hard way (cheapest) - modular.
The long way - via the military.

All routes can and will work eventually, but it depends what you want to do.

I would recommend CTC the highest out of the bunch you mention because you WILL get a RHS soon after you finish the course with them, they have the best links to airlines with an incredible uptake success compared to all the others.

Schemes such as BA Future Pilot etc are worth their weight in gold and should NOT be overlooked.

The agricultural modular route with a bit of instruction or tug flying etc along the way appeals to me but can be a difficult time, financially and will require you moving all over the place.

Then of course there is the military route, which speaks for itself but will put a 10-20 year delay on the process.
