Hamid_27, cheers for the reply,
theres no way im taking those atpls again, im planning on taking my cpl at the end of this year so i will have a re-think then.
capt. underpants said that they are under subscribed for the advanced programme, thats not surprising as most people that finish a CPL have between 150-200 hours the 250 mark is hit around completion of the full CPL/IR (frozen ATPL) as which point there are certainly better options out there now for people to consider. So the hours for the advanced stage defiantly need to be reduced.
cheers
