I have a question. My son (with our financial help!) worked hard and obtained a helicopter CPL with a local school some time ago. Part of the course was completing and passing a number of ATPL exams which he did quite easily.
Unfortunately, there were few jobs available when he completed this just over 10 years ago and so he moved on to other things.
He has always had an interest in aviation and would like to apply to join the next BA sponsored pilot training course. However, one of the FAQs says that having already completed any ATPL exam (even though the validity of my son's passes may well have expired) appears to preclude one from applying.
This seems very strange. He obviously has the basic skills necessary. Anybody understand the reason? Is that still correct?
