Either way I face the same challenge. The ONLY difference is that I am doing it on my own vers doing it through an employer. It's still the same check ride and I can focus on just learning the airplane rather than a specific airlines way of doing things. Then once I have the type it's just a matter of learning how to do it the way the airline wants me to. I'll already know all the systems and have passed the check ride making the employment training fairly simple.
