BEags - fixed wing hours, yes (FJ)
2000 hours will take some time to achieve at my current flying rate. Your option 2 seems favourite at the moment as I am not in any rush to gain an ATPL but agree with FFP and I cannot guarantee that I will ever get 2000 hours!
After chatting in the bar last night, I was lead to believe that some PPL exams (or even all 5) count towards CPL/ATPL. Is that not the case?
I have got ELCs and seems a shame not to use them. Of course in 3.5 years they double in value so I may wait until then...
Thanks for your advice.
PS I checked LASORS and it just confused the hell out of me. I'll take another look now I am awake
