first of all if you get to the end of obtaining a frozen ATPL (modular) while working full-time at the same time like i did (with all the sacrifices) it shows a certain commitment and organisation.
I knew it would not be easy but as i said 1 on 10 got a job in an airline. when
you play the lottery, the odds are better (its like 30% i believe)
I did not even speak of the guys who did not finish the frozen ATPL training.
OK. then you dont need a frozen ATPL. A PPL/IFR (which is a totally different thing) will suffice. I dont think you need to know the JAR ATPL theory to fly a C172 (even in IFR cross-country).
Most of the ATPL theory is about large transport airplanes.
Yes i know what iīm talking about, i work in aviation for 6 years, more training and knowledge about aviation that you dont imagine, a Degree in Aviation and several other trainings, i know is hard to get the JAA ATPL Theory done, but this is a knowledge that i want to get, i like to learn more and more every day about something like to do. Itīs not important for me if i fly a C172 or 747. I love aviation and i dont want to die stupid.
My dream is among others fly, itīs hard and everyone in this Forum know that, we dont need someone that sayīs stop dreaming, if you dont believe, that is your problem, and once again i say, you are not made to be a pilot, you just analyse aviation as another Job, but the problem is that AVIATION IS THE JOB!!!!
For me this Thread endīs know,
Best luck for all of you that are trying to be a Pilot!!!
Best Regards
