Yes, you can get a job with a frozen ATPL. But, it’s important to note that holding a frozen ATPL doesn’t guarantee you any pilot jobs at commercial airlines. Many employers will take into account the hundreds of hours spent flying, taking exams, and theory training involved in obtaining a frozen ATPL, which can work in your favor. However, they’ll also be aware that this is just a license and it doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re right for the job.
Each specific position at every airline will have certain requirements. Take a look at what the specific airline is looking for. For example, some commercial airlines will only employ those with the right attitude and enthusiasm. To improve your chances of being successful after you’ve been issued your license, you’ll need to focus on what sort of pilot the employer is looking for, as well as being able to operate a commercial aircraft to instrument rating standards.
Most successful pilot applicants would have ensured that they have submitted an excellent covering letter and up-to-date CV that have been tailored to the specific airline they are applying to work for. Spending extra time on your application is worthwhile when trying to get a job with a frozen ATPL.
