ATP Flight school EASA ATPL
I had a question regarding ATP Flight School and specficially getting the ATPL. I am considering going there to get my licenses and ratings. My end goal is to fly for a airline in Europe. Now I know at ATP I will do the Airline Career pilot course, which will get me a FAA PPL/IR/CFI/CPL. Then I will do the conversion course to convert just those to the EASA standards. But I believe to fly for an airline in Europe, I need a ATPL unlike in the US. At what stage will I get this at ATP? or how do I get it, once I have my PPL/IR/CFI/CPL converted to EASA. If anyone that had been through the school or is knowledgeable can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

Ok, there are several issues here.
1. ATP flight school can not help in any way with the EASA conversion, I assume you already know this.
2. To fly in the US at a part 121 carrier, you need an ATP. When you graduate from ATP you will have a Commercial Pilot Certificate.
3. To fly in Europe at an airline, you only need a commercial pilot license with the ATPL theory completed.
4. In order to get the European commercial pilot license and the EASA ATPL exams, you will have to find an EASA approved school. There are a handful in the US, but the majority are in Europe. ATP flight school will not train you for the European ratings.
5. Do you have European citizenship or right to work in Europe?

Not sure if flywithtej is referring to this program or the other airline track. However theirs no mention of the ATP exams to get a frozen ATPL which I understand is required for flying in Europe?
