studi - As 411A mentioned, there's a huge difference between getting a frozen ATPL according to minimum legal requirements or doing two years of full time intensive training in a course specially designed to fly an airliner in a multi crew cockpit.
Of course this full time intensive training leaves them with a Multi Engine IR for Multipilot aircraft, absolutly not allowed to fly planes all by themselves like the demanding Single Engine Instrument planes (there is a separate JAA SEL/IR license needed for that stuff.....
)
