Tough decision
Hello. I'm looking for some advice on whether to start on my ATPL course. I've recently sold my business and seriously considering investing my money in an ATPL. My concern is the reality of employment prospects within 6 months of completing a course. For those who have gone through the process is it likely the I would go into employment within this time frame or is it a pipe dream.? The academies, such as L3, are saying there are good jobs out there and that 98% or graduates are employed within 8 months, whereas some websites state that there is a large over stock of pilots in the UK and Europe, making it very difficult. What I have sold my business for would cover the costs of the ATPL, type rating and lack of income for 24 to 30 months so I am happy to spend it, however I would not want to naively throw the money away without realistic employment options.
