Do you have any idea of the amount of work you'll have to do in order to get your ATPL?
In case you did I do apologize but if not I'll fill you in.
You need to complete 14 subjects in ATPL of which 5 are extremely easy.
Comms VFR, Comms IFR, Air law, OPS, Airframes, Flight planning
Those six are done as distance learning at my flight school.
These here> General Nav, Radio nav (absolute mania that one), Mass & Balance,
Performance (basic understanding of Principles of flight required to succeed here),
Principles of flight, Human performance and limitations, weather (omg I've never hated anything so much)
Other factor worthy of consideration, how long have you been out of school. The older you are the more difficult it is to learn things. At age 26 I believe you shouldn't have any problems there.
Most schools will make you work extremely hard because they would like you to sit 6 exams and then 8. That's what I believe is something we call a two sitting method (very common). I myself though am going for the three sitting method, I did 4 exams a few months ago, now I'm planning on doing 5-6 and in my third sitting I'll do 5-6.
Have you got a first class medical? If not I suggest you get one before making anymore plans.
Best of luck to you.
