I had planned to do the ATPLs full-time (distance learning not for me) and then hours building, CPL etc. I thought it would be better to do the hours prior to CPL for better continuity in flying.
One option would be to stay in employment and do the IMC, multi & hours at weekends and then quit work to complete everything else on a full-time basis. Would my flying be too rusty after ATPLs?
If anyone here did the hours before ATPLs, was the gap in flying training an issue?
Grateful for any advice
