... perfectly good. There is some resistance - not universal - to low-houred self improvers but, once you've convinced them to give you an interview, it's there for the taking. I am in no (formal) position to know but I think there is a preference for integrated-course students as being more of a 'known quantity'. Don't let anyone tell you that the Q400 is too hard for you; there are planty out there who successfully take on the Airbus as a first type. The Q400 is, in terms of its demands on you, a propeller-driven A319.
Give it go; they can only say "No".

There is a preference for integrated students, and this sadly was not helped by those responsible for recruitment this year leaving it to OATS to do the initial screening. They put forward only integrated course graduates as this enables them to say to prospective students that more integrated than modular students get jobs, thus helping to convince prospective students to spend more money on the full course (look at the ridiculous article in Pilot magazine this month if any proof is needed!).
Flybe have, however, also taken on a fair few modular students this year, and they have had no problems with the type rating. They do tend to have a few hours instructing, parachute dropping, etc rather than just minimum hours required for licence issue.
