Seems like rules that should apply to your initial ATP only.
I'd probably just stick with CPL add-ons. There's almost zero practical use for any ATP other than MEL.
I agree. Maybe 50 in class for the initial ATP would be a good idea. Which by far would be for the ATP MEL.
But having to log 50 hours SES and 50 MES is very cost prohibitive. Think tens-of-thousands of dollars. 😳 Just to qualify to take the checkride.
Definitely discourages me from seeking the advanced training just for an add-on rating.
