Actually it is a good question. A quick look through some of the posts on Interviews and jobs section of the Wannabes area will highlight that it is important that you have a plan once you have completed a fATPL. It is easy to plan your flying right up until completion of the MCC, your path is laid out in front of you, it is even straight forward to budget to this point (not find the budget but plan what you are going to spend at least). But it is vital that you also have a plan once the training is complete. You need to stay current, you need to keep the hours ticking over. I am not saying what sort of hours, can of worms that one, but you cannot expect to have the mins required for an fATPL and then walk into a Jet job, it happens of course, but do not expect it - (and ignore A320 riders posts too).
