You mention 'second crew', so perhaps that clarifies as normally second crew, to me, refers to ultra long haul's legal requirement.

Frozen ATPL is something they have in the UK and the like. One can write ones exams well before having the requisite time requirements and thus, your ATPL licence is 'frozen'. Cooky isn't it.
Good answer, but "write exams" is also a foreign expression to Americans. "Take the written tests" would be better understood. Not so cooky because in the USA you can take the ATP practical flight test before age 23 and get a letter to turn into the FSDO on your birthday and they'll type up your ATP certificate right then and there. Same idea with the "Frozen ATPL". You do all the required tests prior to meeting the time requirements then once you have the time you get the certificate, correct?
