Thumbs up I choose Modular

After reading countless threats on here about MPL, CTC, OAA, FTE, etc and attending some open days! My conclusion has been to do modular route instead.

Not only is much MUCH cheaper, modular seems to be more fun, less pressure (as you are not being constantly accessed!) etc.

I'm also aware that my chances of employment are lower since ATO schools have partner airlines (consider OAA that just signed a contract with Air Algerie to train 200 cadets!).

I do intend in becoming an airline pilot as quickly as possible, but I also want to do it wisely and not having a 80+ grand loan on my back!

I'm considering in joining Stapleford flight centre to do my whole modular training, which will begin next year in January!

So my questions are:

Has anyone who did modular at stapleford got a job within a year?
How is stapleford like? What kind of advice, based on experience could you give?

And for modular fATPL cadets, how long you been looking for your first airline job?

Thanks!
