Everything Negan says is true!

The flying training you need depends on how many hours you have. The CAA use a credit system depending on TT to determine your training requirements.

Seeing you only have a FAA CPL, rather than ATPL, I would assume you will have to do ALL the flight tests with the exception of the Private pilot.

So you first need to get a class one medical then make sure you are FAA IR current as well..if not you need your IPC done.

Then you do the following flight training leading to the relevant tests;

CPL - SE (training as required, then checkride)
ME (training as required, then checkride)
ME IR (minimum 15 hours, then check ride)

Then fork out another £1500-£2500 for a MCC, then optionally pay £16-£20K for a type rating (if you think that will work for you)

Then, get in a very long queue for a job!

It is not easy and it can be strongly argued that most of the ATPL theory stuff is irrelevant (whether for now or even later in your career!), many exam questions are not written properly in the official exams, in a few crazy cases some "correct" answers arent even correct, the learning objectives are long (some quite vague)....

But, with the right attitude, right school, right notes, question banks (and lots of extra money) you can do it

good luck man!
