'Ummmmmm, 6 months if you are qualified.... maybe more'

Is that until you are on line or until start of line training?

Still even if it is the latter, I don't understand what there is to learn that would take six months.

Type rating --- 2 months maximum?
FAA ATPL --- 2 weeks ?
Dangerous goods, security, LVOs, SEP, etc etc, normally 10-15 working days alltogether?

Unless you start with the forces during straight and level !!

Do you get paid these credits hours (by the way I am totally confused with this concept!) during all this training?

And another thing: I was told that I will do a medical that will take two days ! That by itself is quite scary unless I accidentally ticked the space shuttle captain instead of the A320 captain box !!
