EASA zero to frozen ATPL - the theoretical minimal time

[Flion]

HI guys, what's the theoretical minimal time to obtain Frozen ATPL under ideal conditions?

[ford cortina]

In a expensive Freezer, say a Siemens, about 3 hours!

Seriously this is not a race, you are training for a professional licence. It will take as long as it does

Pick a number : 60 weeks

It is not a race. You need time for the OSMOSIS to work

Thanks for the reply guys, you made my day.
By the way, it becomes kinda race if you're 35. Difference between 14 and 20 months is substential.
I'm trying to figure out why do schools state the course will take 18 months, 20, 24, etc. By simple time calculation I come to a theoretial minimum of about a year: 3 months PPL, 6 months ATPL+hours building, 3 months ATPL exams. Where do I go wrong? I'm sure I go wrong.
Forgive my ignorance and thank you very big.

I know someone who started flying commercially a few years ago at the tinder age of 39 for a regional operator in Scotland and now is on the 777 in the ME.

Don't stress it out.
