There are other options as well though; have you considered Modular from a cost perspective? You may well find your employment prospects better following a modular path in the UK than your definition of a second tier school in other parts of the EU. Ultimately, securing a job is largely down to you despite the sales pitch that where you train makes a difference. Integrated offers a consistent pace of training in a predictable timeframe but properly managed, modular can offer the same and frankly, at the moment, if you can demonstrate that you have a bit of motivation and come across well at interview, you could find employment at a number of decent UK operators.
Having said that,
where my aim is to secure a job with a major airline based in the UK
might restrict you a bit.
