Hi guys, I'm looking to enroll at City under the Air Transport Operations with ATPL course, but I'm quite unsure with what the course is really offering :(.
According to the website, City offers a frozen ATPL. Now this is where my curiosity begins; I hope someone could shed some light to the following questions(providing it goes in line with the course City offers of course! :p):
i. A frozen ATPL basically means that I have the necessary knowledge for an ATPL but not the required minimum flight hours? Upon reaching the minimum flight hours, the ATPL will be 'unfrozen', correct?
ii. Based on my interpretation of the website, I will get a CPL/IR with a frozen ATPL, is this true?
iii. I'm currently pursuing a diploma in Tourism Management in a local private university (due to graduate this December). My father suggests I take a PPL upon graduation (in Malaysia, as I am a Malaysian citizen) while waiting for the Sept 2012 intake. If I have a PPL when enroll at City, would I be at an advantage? Or does this have no effect whatsoever in regards with the course?
See here for reference:
Air Transport Operations with ATPL | City University London (http://www.city.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/air-transport-operations-with-atpl#course-detail=1)
Next is regarding post-graduation employment:
The requirements of an Air Asia FO are as follows
First Officer
A valid DCAM ATPL/Frozen ATPL with valid instrument and type rating
A valid DCAM medical certificate. (Class 1)
Holds a valid malaysian flying licence issued by DCA Malaysia
Malaysian Citizen or Malaysian Permanent Resident
(taken from here (http://www.airasia.com/my/en/corporate/jobsfirstofficer.html))
Based on the requirements stated, along with the course at City awarding a frozen ATPL, does this mean I'm eligible to apply for the position of FO? (Providing of course that I convert the frozen ATPL to a Malaysian one)
Could anybody shed some light on this, or maybe provide some detailed feedback regarding the course that City is offering? Thanks very much! :D
