Presumably you want to be an airline pilot? Here’s some things I’d Google/ChatGPT as starters. It’s pointless trying to give you an entire overview as it’s so broad. Better for you to establish where you are and where you want to get to, then ask specifics here after.
  • Modular vs integrated
  • What is a type rating
  • What is a frozen ATPL
  • Class 1 medical (get this booked today)

Plenty of other topics to look at, don’t just pile into being a pilot because your dad did. Advice for the interview, it’s not just gentlemen that are allowed to do aeroplaning..!
I did do research on that, at least about the part about Modular vs Integrated training, and what a type ratings essentially etc. However, yes, you're right. There are much more I need to learn. I kinda posted this thread in hopes of starting that.
