You pay the money, get the qualification you go and fly your multi crew aeroplane privately, many many people do. Without an ATPL.
You really think my what is wrong? A little grammar joke there. Like I said, I don't know how it works down there but in Europe you have to have your ATPL exams passed before you can get a multi crew type rating. In a lot of places you can fly a DC3 on a PPL - it was originally type certified as a single pilot aircraft.
