A big warning to wannabes
I did a JAR ATPL some years ago, it was one of the worst decision i ever made
IT costs you 50k or more, takes 2-3 years at best.
I found the JAR theory no so easy and sometimes boring.
At the end you get 100s of rejection letters by airlines. When you get to know people inside the industry, you meet lots of experienced jet pilots on the dole (sometimes bitter for obvious reasons), struggling instructors ...
Would i do it again : NO WAY !!
I would even prefer playing the lottery : at least you have a chance to win something.
Then some guys talk fo getting a type : dont even think about it. It elapses very rapidly and is worthless without hours on type.
