As I work for one of the airlines based at LTN I decided to ask this question to one of the Captains who also holds a very high position within the company. His view - albeit probably his personal view - was that airlines prefer ab-intio/integrated students because they have done all of their training at the same establishment as opposed to the modular route where you can mix and match.
It therefore begs the question that if you were to do your modular training all at one school - say OATS - would that be viewed on in preference to somebody who had done their modules at different schools?
My intention is to do my modules all at the same school.
I think modular is definitely the wise move in the current climate and Gonville's hit the nail right on the head re choosing your finishing time.
Whatever route you choose, Good Luck!
