“Frozen ATPL” is the industry term, and I could never have imagined an adult trying to debate the difference when it comes to theoretical education (hint: it’s the same).

> There are definitely directions that, if not followed, result in committing a felony

So? Nobody is disputing that!

It’s certainly not a felony to disobey directions that are not relevant to flight operations or safety.

You’ve utterly failed to communicate what it is that you apparently disagree with me about, instead you’ve just dropped a bunch of unnecessary personal attacks.

False.

Let’s see:

> Do your pilot credentials include an ATP cert?

An unnecessary insinuation that I’m overstating my credentials.

> Hmm. So by, "yeah," you mean, "no."

A direct allegation that I’m overstating my credentials. Given that only the theory part of ATP training has any relevance to this conversation, what was your purpose here if not to attack my character?

> Google "professionalism"

A rather more direct and entirely baseless accusation of unprofessionalism

> You would do well to consider the effects of this statement before continuing too far past 1500 hours.

An insinuation that I should not be flying planes because ???
