Cool Career First Officer only question i.e. no fATPL

Good evening.

"Would a Regional airline accept a potential Career First Officer?" NB The UK CAA are quite happy & I have this in writing.

For various reasons I now have a current EASA CPL/IR but not a fATPL: if I wish to become a Captain then I would have to do 15 of the 16 ATPL exams. Not a feasible option - I'd rather not say why as it would probably identify me.

I have "an opportunity" coming up soon and have been advised by colleagues already with the company to say nothing about having previously demonstrated ATPL TK, but having to "re-prove it" if I wish to become a Captain. My mind is turning to the interview and (thinking positively) any future induction paperwork. Note that I am avoiding using the phrase "lapsed" - that is not actually accurate. Again, the UK CAA have told me this.

Moderators: should I post this in Terms & Endearments, maybe?

All the very best, folks.
