I have recently got my PPL and am now ready to start a distance learning course for the ATPL's. I expect it to take me about 1 year to study and pass the exams and then I will be taking the modular route for my ME/CPL/IR so I would expect to finish the majority of my pilot training around Oct / Nov 2010.
I was wondering what peoples thoughts were in relation to my timing and the economy.
Once ive done the me/cpl/ir I will be either getting a type rating or become a CFI and im a little worried that the economy will still be in the :mad: and my licenses will become invalid before I could get a job.
Do you think its reasonable to continue with my current path but maybe delay getting a type rating after my modular stuff depending on the number of jobs out there? Or maybe people think im crazy for even studying the ATPL's right now, the threads on the economy are very doom and gloom but I feel like ive been waiting a lifetime to get the ball rolling for my CPL
Also does anyone know what are the requirements for keeping me/cpl/ir current? Is it inconvenient and difficult to keep these valid?
Thanks for all replies very much appreciated
