Pilotboy, did you ever describe your previous licences as:
Frozen Class A driver's licence, when all you had done was pass the road rules exam?
Frozen PPL, when what you had a was an SPL + PPL theory pass?
Frozen CPL, when what you had a was a PPL + CPL theory pass?
Frozen CIR, when what you had was a PPL or CPL + CIR theory pass?
Frozen Gr 3, when what you had was a CPL + a PMI pass?
See the pattern?
Accuracy is generally regarded as a 'good thing' in this industry. Many prospective employers take a dim view of 'marketing hype' ie claiming something you're not, or not quite. Who knows what else you might also exaggerate about yourself, your skills, and your experience?
As for 'Frozen ATPL', you'd be a lot closer to the truth if you called it a Frozen CPL - because that's all it will ever be until, and unless, you meet & pass the rest of the licence's requirements.
