If you want first job with a UK company, the only way is integrated, with exception of Ryanair
Wrong. Completely wrong.
Besides Ryanair, I do not know of any airlines within UK that will give you a job with modular training program
I'd recommend a bit more research then. Flybe gave me my first job, and I distinctly remember doing modular training. As did many of my colleagues.
Integrated might be the only low-hours route into BA, but as an experienced direct entry pilot, they couldn't care less how and where you trained. I know because I work for them now. Integrated training
may give you an advantage with some airlines, some of the time. It ain't a golden ticket, however. In my direct experience, breaking into this industry is far more dependent on contacts and timing than where or how you trained - or how old you are.
