Any Form of Advantage to ATPL?
OK, so I know that this may not be the most popular question but I've got to ask it!
I'm a qualified accountant and have been accepted onto OAT's APP (please - no discussions re this course in particular as I think this has been well documented elsewhere).
Assuming that I do not walk straight into a job on completion of the course (!), I anticipate having to return for my former life in accountancy in order to pay the bills, whilst pursuing any flight crew positions as they arise.
Firstly, is this a credible option, as opposed to instruction or ops room positions? I'm seriously concerned about a fATPL becoming 'stale'. Secondly, in the longer term at interview stage, will being qualified in another profession provide any form of advantage?
