DO PAY TO FLY
Someone somewhere has paid a lot to get that ATPL. I do not know just how little flying is now required to keep a licence VALID.
I was able to find a Dart Kitten on hire to me for £1/10 per hour just to retain my ( then) Commercial Pilots Licence. I had to do six hours and six T/Os and landings. It was a single seater, so no check ride. A three hour cross-country before my first landing on type. It had been noisy and windy but so much cheaper than a complete retake of everything.
(My initial test had been from Gatwick, based in the Beehive pre-war Terminal Building with PSP around for parking, and IIRC the R/W was just grass. The night flying cross country HAD to be from Croydon as it had LIGHTS !)
