ATPL exams now or post Apr 12?
Ok, my dilemma is this. I can't fit in or afford to complete the 14 exams AND the flying skill test and IRT by Apr 12.
I have ELCs so I'm after advice on whether I should start the exams now so I can 'dip' into 1 yrs ELCS this year and use the further 2 'dips' once they sort out the system post Apr 12 for the flying part (I hope the rumour that there's a team at 22GP working on this is true!) I have over 2000 hrs total but only 500 capt's hrs on C17.
My worry is that I sit a load of exams this year, spending lots of time and money, only to find that they are not valid under the new system come next year.
So in short, do I sit the exams this year or call the whole thing off until the system sorts itself out some time in 2012, fingers crossed?
Any advice or news on the 22GP teams efforts would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
