He got his frozen ATPL via the modular route. He spent about 25k on it and 28k on type/line training.

He was lucky enough to be on a scheme whereby he was guaranteed a contract on successful completion of type rating and line training. Granted, such schemes are difficult to come by. But there's nothing to stop a Ryanair cadet applying to BA as a DEP once they've obtained 500 hours and the Ryanair schem is less than 28k if my memory serves me correctly.
