Keep up the great efforts Virtual Aviation...the industry does need to be brought back to the realistic level again.

Things are changing a bit in the industry. A couple of years ago the "big 3" had a virtual monopoly but we've seen TCX, BA City and now Titan going out of there way to attract modular pilots recently - all credit to them. Even Ryanair might be offering bonded type ratings through their APC program soon.
If you're not on a pre-selected integrated scheme or a MPL personally I'm not sure what value you're getting for 100k bar the "opportunity" to pay another 20k to join Easyjet or similar?
