STANDTO, i dont want to sound negative but a JAR fATPL is probably the most useless thing in the known universe in the current economical conditions.
If i had to do it over again, i would NEVER invest 50k like i did into this but have kept my PPL/IFR and bought a share in a small airplane, maybe aerobatic. would have cost probbaly less, with resale value. The training itself means sacrificing your family life, holidays (weather is a factor for training, when its 0-0 even carriers dont fly, you also dont venture in the air with severe icing without deicing), lotz of dosh, lotz of time (waiting for the instructor, for the airplane, for the weather to improve a little bit, for the CAA bureaucrats...)
