You are welcome Air Bus. Thanks for clearing up the Frozen ATPL for me. Went I did mine some 22 years ago, you could not even take the written till you had the mininum flight times in your logbook and then an FAA inspector, had to verfy your log and then give you written permission to take the written. Things have changed here since then, I don't think you need even an endorsment from a flight instructor or any thing else. You use to be able to get the ATP vfr for helicopters and that included a type rating in the helicopter you took it in. Lot of guys around with ATP Rotorcraft Helicopter limited to VFR typed in R-22's 300C and Bell 47's. Now the FAA will only issue one with no restrictions and no type ratings for helicopter that weigh less than 12,500 lbs . I mostly fly Helicotpers these days. Airplanes just don't do it for me any more. Small differences in the way things are done in Europe vs. the United States. What were you Swiss Air? Same on what happened to them. Airlines like Oil is either boom or bust. If seen seven Busts in Aviation since I started flying, this one is not all that bad. Hang tough, things will pick up for you soon.
