Hi all,
I've recently completed all 14 ATPL examinations. Of course, I was totally ecstatic as I got above 90% with all first time passes. However, given the year it's been, it doesn't feel so positive now. A lot of people I know in my situation are thinking of starting a CPL/IR course pretty soon. In fact the school I did my PPL at is fully booked for their CPL/IR course until May next year.; but, to me, it seems really premature as the industry in Europe is still not looking so good.
My current situation is PPL, NR, ATPL exams complete, and about 25 hours PIC. Everything done under EASA, but I am a dual-citizen so still have EU citizenship. My current thought is to now try to get a full-time job for the next 12-24 months and see how the market develops. Someone I know recommended doing the UK ATPLs to have both, but I really don't fancy doing that.
However, something in my heart is telling me to go for it though and not let the dream 'die'. I have enough cash in the bank to hour build and pay for the CPL/IR and an MCC-APS course and no debt/ mortgage to pay. I know I have until September 2024 to get an IR to keep my ATPLs valid.
I was wondering if anyone on here had any advice on the next steps?
