"" there's no point in giving 50hrs training towards an ATPL to somebody with a PPL, as although they'd be a step closer, they wouldn't actually have achieved any real goal. Stumping up the money for a full ATPL would only help one person, but it would be a big step forward for that person. Its a difficult decision!""
Of course I wish I was sponsored for a full ATPL but I think it would be more interesting to help many peoples.
Because to be a step closer could be very important if you want to have a lend from your bank.
Did you never heard this: "You have no qualification, no experience, no licences..... why should we give you so much money for a project that you might be enable to achieve?"
When you have something like a CPL or even the ATPL theory, your bank becomes more friendly.
