So that's six hours of instruction during the day, and around four hours of private study every evening. I start at 08:30, finish at 16:30, with a working lunch and a short coffee break, and go to bed at 10:00PM. If there's any spare time in the evening, ideally you need to be doing the question banks and exam preparation. It's six hours a day of instruction, followed a couple of hours of compulsory computer-based-training, after which you ideally need to go over and makes notes about the things you've covered that day. Any sort of job within that time is just impossible. It probably averages-out at six hours of study per day, every day, for six months. Ground school is, and will be your whole life for that six months. Integrated ground school is a ridiculously intense six months, and instructors will tell you that you're completing many years of work in just a few months. If you need/want to make some money prior starting the course in October I'd say go and find yourself a seasonal job or any other kind of job for the summer, but once the studies start you'll very soon recognize that the ATP studies will be very time demanding and won't leave any time to spare! Not everyone who embarks on this journey will make it to the intended destination. Why should they be joking? You're not about to attend a comedian school, aren't you? Intending to become an airline pilot is serious business! Besides, underestimating the ATP studies is nothing uncommon, you aren't the first and for sure won't be the last! As already mentioned by "keeflyer" it's not possible to work a full time job while attending a full time ATP course, this isn't like evening school, this will be the challenge of your lifetime. From all the schools I have visited they say there is not that much free time outside of the course, is this true? How hard is it to work a part-time job and do a fully integrated ATPL.
