Let ATPL Theoreticals Laps?
I'm sat here with CPL in the bag, ATPL Theoretical time limit approaching though some regular GA flying to keep my hand in and a good non-flying career job so all's well. The airlines aren't my ultimate ambition though I appreciate are pretty much the only way to fly full time and support yourself financially (if times were good again I'd still go for it). It's most likely I'll just hang around on the fringes of GA where I consider the most interesting flying is though pretty much no pay so will only ever be a hobby/pastime. I'm considering letting the ATPL's lapse as I'm thinking if strong employment opportunities ever do arise again I'd be better to have more current IR skills and I should be able to retake the ATPL's with 2-3 months of revision which I'd need for professional job's in any case. I consider this approach also cheaper than keeping the IR current. What do others think?
