To be a tad more constructive:
The term frozen ATPL means that you have a:
CPL/Multi-engine IR/(in Europe: an MCC certificate) and have completed the extra ATPL theory exams.
You now have a frozen ATPL. This is the minimum qualification to work in a two-pilot environment, ie First Officer for the airlines. Although each airline has their own minimum requirements.
When you have: 1500 hrs total; 500 hours multi crew; 100 night and a few other things I can't remember right now, you can get your licence upgraded.
You now have an ATPL. This is the minimum qualification to work as a captain. Again individual airlines impose further requirements.
No idea how it works in Dubai, but that's the situation in Europe.

Under the current system, everyone who starts their first airline job will have a frozen ATPL since:
An airline will not employ you unless you have passed the ATPL exams;
You can not get a full ATPL until you have airline (read multi crew) experience.
