That's all I can say, I'm not familiar with the European pilots school, sorry. But if you can, better do all the way to the ATPL, at least it's out of the way for good. Going only for the CPL, you would only be able to fly as captain on small aircraft eg less than 5700kg. Thereafter you can enjoy the flying and not stressed about written exams anymore.
So, if i understand correctly, you have to go 'all the way' to ATPL even if you saw yourself flying twin turbo props? Can 't you just get a CPL with a twin rating and MIR and stop there if the shiny jet scene wasn't of interest?
And wouldn't that be a lot cheaper?
