OK, Though I'm not recommended to do it the quick and dirty way

, I guess it all makes sense, except:
check you have $50-100k spare (+ the cost of buying/operating your chosen jet)
Uhh who said anything about me paying for it

Are there any benefits of getting an ATPL/CPL first besides the afore mentioned "you will be trained like an ATP" ?
NOTE: Any details on the Kenya Airways 738 crash?
