Sorry for the mistake.
Anyway, that kind of qualification is still a lot better than me. How can I compete with this kind of people with only 60 hours on Cessna 172?

Having 60 hrs in a 172 makes you more qualified and experienced than about 90% of all applicants, just in that final 10% there are some very competitive applicants. However, your 60 hrs should get you to the interview stage, it is then up to you to do your homework and impress them with your technical knowledge and personality. Good Luck

Usually they will ask you not to reapply for the program within 2 years after failing flight grading. But that should not stop you from further flying at your own expense.

Many here has mentioned getting "frozen ATPLs". Besides the extreme cost, does any of those have any idea what they will do after attaining such license? Will you be able to afford getting the extra hours required in entering the airline?

Doing this job always require a backup plan, and ask yourself always "what if". Nothing is ever a guarantee in aviation.

To me, PPL training is so fun! It made me wanna do the CPL and multi so much! If I had the money, I would still do all the training even though I might not have any jobs after that, coz I just love flying! But the thing is... I don't have money...
