CPL or ATPL - how do I decide?
I am a PPL holder with 100 hours and a Class 1 medical. My ambitions in commercial aviation are initially to instruct for which I need at least a CPL and FI rating. I may ultimately want to move into other types of commercial flying such as cargo, air-taxi, regional turboprops etc., although because I am now 39 I realise the opportunity may not arise and I may have to be content to remain in instructing. Should I aim for the CPL possibly with an IR first, and then do the ATPL later if I ever need to - or would I be better studying for the ATPLs now.
Has any one else in ppruneland had to make this choice and what factors influenced your final decision?
All advice/comments will be gratefullyreceived.
