Well ok, I was talking in general but I did state that. A lot don't have a preference (refering to this GAPAN/ESPT survey of seven airlines :http://www.gapan.org/careers/survey.htm in which only one of the airlines which responded stated that it prefered integrated). As well as that I have also heard of a lot more airlines that prefer integrated. I think a lot of it doesnt have to do with preference either, it comes with the vast amounts of high quality pilots that integrated schools produce in an orgainised manor. Basically I think it would be a lot easier for an airline which needed 6 pilots to phone OAT, FTE or Cabair and state the requirements and know they are going to produce the goods rather than fishing through a mountain of applications on their desks from modular low hour students with a hundred different flying backgrounds (not to say that some of the big schools dont put forward modular students). However, at the end of the day, whether all this is true or not, I have yet to hear of ANY airline which prefers modular students.
Im really not trying to bash modular at all and I think that both routes have their pro's and cons and I agree with the person who said that once you make it no one will care. I do however think that one of the pro's of going integrated is that it offers a higher chance of getting a job quickly at the end of it. The major pro of modular is that it costs A LOT less so if you decide that modular is right for you then thats a fair decision and you will have a lot more money than me after training!

Obviously you believe the hype. Just wait until you join the thousands of other green wannabes out there. You aint there until your arse is a part of the furniture. Until then I suggest you get on with working towards being what the airlines want as you seem to know what that is. Just pray your beloved flight accademy finds you a job after the party is over. If not, it really wont matter about your focussed training. You will just become another number.

ok shaun, settle pettle, im not trying to piss off anyone here, but the records and job statistics from integrated schools like FTE and OAT within 6 months of graduation are pretty hard to argue with. There are usually 1,2 or more from a course who dont make it straight away too and anything could happen, there are no gaurentees of any job and that is one of the risks I have decided to take. You are 100% right that I havnt got my arse in a seat yet and havnt even started training. I thought I was being completely fair about modular/integrated saying that both sides have pros and cons. Personally I considered both routes so I dont get why you are getting annoyed at me? Maybe I didnt make that clear. Sorry to offend

Shaun - you seem like a very bitter man - something you are not telling us?
Funnily enough you cant name the airline that doesnt want intergrated students!!! Why is that? I can answer for you - THEY DON´T EXIST YOU NUMBSKULL
Stop posting rubbish you have made up in your head
Thanks

i hope no one got the wrong idea by my posts, i really wasnt trying to bash modular, i really think its as viable a route as any. i get the impression that some people ARE bashing integrated though

Calm down little boy! No need for tantrums ok. I am certainly not bitter young fellow, why should I be? I am merely offering my point of view, if you cant handle that then dont bother reading the posts on here. As for naming the airline that I work for, well this is an anonymous forum and I wish to remain anonymous.

To be honest I don't care who you are/what you do - I just think if you post nonsense you should expect some come back

I seem to have touched a raw nerve with this one. Well in response to your last post, I have to say that you wont get very far with your puerile attitude old boy. As for being pax, well they have four sectors with me today. As for anonymity, the sooner you realise how tightly nit this business is the better!
Now get back to your playstation and leave the flying to the grown ups.

You are obviously a very sad deluded Billy No Mates
I have an excuse - I am a wannabee looking on the forum (I'm 100% sure you are too judging by the horses*it you consistently seem to post!)
