Not sure where you getting this information but it's totally incorrect! Once the cadet finishes the hour requirement, he/she gets to do the ATPL skill test in the coming PPC. This solely depends on when the PPC comes up as per the schedule. Few cadets don't get the ATPL in the first shot because they bust their skill test. Please don't make baseless assumptions and mislead people.
Yes, some cadets don't get FO contract immediately at the end of 750 hrs, but ATPL is never an issue unless you bust it yourself..
Hope this helps..
Cheers
