I hear nearly everyday from line training captains I work with that they generally find modular guys preferable to integrated! Reasons they give are greater ability to think for themselves (they have often had jobs before and are more mature) hand in hand with maturity the ability to hold a conversation, and they say they often have a higher situational awareness and better airmanship due to not being spoon fed. I believe the integrated product is preferred by hr, as it's easy. Hr depts are very lazy world wide now, and always prefer to use agency's in whatever industry, and the integrated product with the shiney marketing leaflets fool everyone.
