Obtaining a CPL vs ATPL / Non-airline jobs
Greetings.
I am another one of those wanting to get into the flying business for some reason.
However, contrary to what seems to be the norm, I do not wish to become an airline pilot, but only fly smaller planes requiring just one pilot. I'd be happy doing the kind of jobs that go with that, even if less that brilliantly paid.
Therefore, my question is, do I need to go for an ATPL regardless, or will a CPL suffice in terms of standing a realistic chance of landing a paying job?
I have searched all over this and other internet resources over the weekend, but didn't find a specific answer to the above, on the contrary, most info out there seems to be geared towards airline jobs. Apologies if I have missed previous discussion on the subject.
TIA.
