It is interesting how this idea that integrated is the only way has been perpetuated by the larger ATO's selling predominantly, err, integrated courses. I could give you the names of fifty or more colleagues and acquaintances currently flying both larger and small airliners, many in the left seat and several in management and training roles who are all either the product of modular (self-improvers in old money) or ex-military and up through the modular route. It's more about the person than the path in my view.
