Do I need to unfreeze my ATPL by 30 Jun 02?
Situation: not looking for airline job for 6-12 years. Have frozen ATPL, can unfreeze with a fair amount of hard grind (hour-building) and £3-6000.
Opinion 1: I'm so close to getting the full licence, I might as well put the extra work in and go for it.
Opinion 2: there's no point, a CPL/IR will be perfectly employable when I come to look for a job due to the 500hr multi-crew multi-engine JAR requirement for ATPL (I won't have any/many of these hours). Get some sleep, save some money.
I would be grateful for any pointers that people more in the know could give me. The money isn't too much of a problem, but I'll be hour-building every weekend, evening etc to achieve this - not ideal.
Cheers!
