Hi folks, Im a total newbie and this is my first post, so hello to everyone
Im thinking of doing an integrated course for a frozen ATPL, havent decided what school yet though. I will be leaving a good job to do it, but its always been my dream job and i reckon if i dont just go and do it now, i never will.
My question is do airlines hire people with fATPL's? I know things are bad with pilot recruitment at the moment but it will be at least 18 months from now before i complete training, and hopefully things will have picked up by then.
I presume an airline is going to pick a candidate with flying hours before someone with a frozen ATPL. But how do you get hours if you cant get a job?
If i went on to do a Type Rating, would i have a better chance at getting hired even though id still be on a frozen licence?
Any advise or info appreciated,
Cheers
