Integrated pilot training query!
Hi,
I am going to be starting my pilot training in 1month (Integrated ATPL), however, I do not want to be doing my MCC/JOC with them as I’m planning on doing it with another organisation like VA, Kura, simtech etc.
My question is: would it be possible for me to do this and would I get some of my money reimbursed?
If it’s possible, do I have to inform them about my decision before I enroll on to my training or just let them know when the time comes..?
I’m looking forward to your responses!
Many thanks in advance.

How many ATO’s?
Hi,
If I choose to go down the modular route, how many ATO’s can I do my flying with? I understand the airlines prefer a maximum of 2 schools. Would this include PPL and ground school or just the professional flying?
Thanks

I was at a different flight school for almost every step, and have had 3 direct entry interviews at different carriers. Why three? I am looking for the best offer 
Waiting for the Sim evaluations, now.

Do airlines generally treat MPL candidates the same as ATPL holders nowadays, or will your type of license greatly influence jop opportunities should your MPL-ATO airline go bust?
A complete MPL automatically includes a type rating, so I’d imagine chances aren’t too bad on the job hunt?

I went modular and the life experience travelling to different countries in Europe was very valuable for me
Definitely would go Modular again if I had to start over, if you shop around you will be surprised how cheap you can do modular training compared to Integrated and at the end of the day you get the same licence

L3, CAE or FTE?
L3, CAE or FTE?
Having now graduated from University, I am currently deciding between the 3 main ATPL flight schools for an integrated course. Can anyone shed some light on the important differences between them, and recommend one? I have tried to forensically compare the three but they all claim high completion and employment rates, as well as a number of airline partners. FTE seems unique due to its campus set-up, but L3 seem to have a good employment rate. I have also read on another thread potential delays for L3 cadets?
All help is massively appreciated.

Pay as you go (Modular) vs Full time 0-Atpl (modular)
Hi guys, i Am currently 21 years old . My plan is to go to germany for lets say 3-4 years and make money to pay for my 50 k full time training with Bartolini and 35k for type rating . However I would like to know your opinion about this .
Is this a right way ? or Should i go Modular part time ( pay i as i have money) along with my job, with various schools.
The second way sounds more appealing to me since i wont be just working working and only after 3 years i can begin my flying . I also heard that doing everything in one recognizable school and having your fly certificates in short span is more favorable among hiring airlines . i would like to go to Poland ,Bartolini . Thanks

How time span between modular sections affect my job hunting.
Hello guys as I said i am wondering if its smart to do my pilot training as I go(pay as you go) . Or save all my money and then do it in one haul. Does having long gaps in training affect anything? Thanks for your answer.

FTA Global
Hello there,
I wonder if anybody could help please.
I am currently deciding which flight school to undergo an Integrated FATPL and so far I have looked at both CAE in Oxford, and FTA Global in Shoreham.
Having searched the forum I have found numerous threads about FTA asking about the quality of the school with limited response, I was just wondering if anybody reading this could help me out and point me in the right direction please?! Ideally somebody who has completed the FTA integrated 'flight deck' programme and has now landed a job.
There employment statistics seem very impressive with apparently 94% of their students having a job as a pilot within a year.
My question is as FTA is closer to me within commuting distance, and the fact that it is considerably cheaper than CAE even before you add on accommodation and travel costs, would FTA be the better place for me?
Thanks for looking and I look forward to your responses!
Kind Regards,
Oscar

Be careful of believing the hype. CTC used to claim that 98% of their students got employed within a year, but upon closer inspection it was 98% of a very small number of specific cadets on specific courses.

Modular or intergrated
Hi,
Like every aspiring pilot, I have a question regarding which route to take, based on the which route will have the higher chances of actually landing a job. Time isn't an issue with me, therefore ideally I'd be up or going Modular route. However, just the stories you hear that the majority of airlines prefer those that went Integrated ( especially bigger ones), so that's what puts me off.
I can go either way really. However, integrated I'd need to save up 4/5 years before I can apply to schools. Just downside is obviously the huge cost. Despite this, I'm willing to save up, and fork out that amount, if it increases my chances a lot of landing a job rather quickly once on finishing ( due to ties which fight schools have with airlines). Just before this route, I'll actually need to save up the money...
At the same time, I'm also considering Modular. As with this option, I can actually start my training a lot sooner, from this year ( as opposed to waiting 4/5 years). And to be honest, by the time I'd have saved up enough to go integrated, I'd probably have become qualified to become a commercial pilot ( complete all training) through Modular. This, plus the fact that it will be far cheaper, is what leads me to this direction.
However, just the likeness of actually getting a job, after qualifying via Modular route - is what holds me back.
So really just seeking advice of the best route. Anyone who studied through modular and actually landed roles care to share their opinion?
Thanks

Go for the quickest route. It's a very cyclical industry. Every year you delay makes your career a year shorter. That's a year you don't spend as a senior captain making a senior captains salary...
