Hello all, just to mention I have been researching this for the past 2 months using various forums and checking out the links on this webpage (some of which don't work) and I just want to clarify I have this correct.

To go from no experience to frozen ATPL;

- PPL - Personal Pilot License
- PPL NR - Night Rating

- ATPL Exams

- CPL - Commercial Pilot License
- ME - Multi Engine Rating
- IR - Instrument Rating

= fATPL - Frozen ATPL

You can then either apply for First Officer positions or do the following qualifications;


JOC - Jet Operations Course (A320 or Boeing 737 by the looks of it)
MCC - Multi Crew Course


Then apply for first officer positions.

I'm interested in hearing from those who have recently landed a position and with what qualifications they had (Obviously I am looking to go the Modular route rather then Integrated and as I understand Integrated you have both JOC and MCC)

I look forward to the responses and please no "read the forums" as I have read endless threads which have conflicting information about what licenses supersede others and what requirements are needed etc etc.

Thanks

PPL = Private Pilots Licence.

Most people would add hourbuilding as an item prior to starting the CPL.

I suspect you'll need an MCC/JOC regardless, most places seem to need it these days.

You may well have to self fund a type rating as well at the end of all that.

There are absolutely no guarantees on getting a job at the end of training....
