so this might be *slightly* OT.... but,
exactly to what extent would it be career limiting to only to ME CPL/IR , ie not the ATPL exams? Someone mentioned 'light commercial aviation', and that without the ATPL you could only ever be PIC for single crew aircraft, and F/O for multi-crew.
but if one had absolutely no intention of ever working for a commercial airline, which non-airline prospects would be on the other side of a burnt bridge if one only did the CPL exams?
Thanks
