Question
Do i need an ATPL to be an airline pilot or CPL is just enough to become an airline pilot?

Answer
Hi Edmund,
I sent you an answer to this question days ago.  I have no idea why you didn't recieve my response but I will try again.
All major airlines require an ATP license along with a college degree.  Most commuters require the same however, some only require a commercial certificate.  Unfortuately, I can't say which ones as the companies are always changing.   I suggest that you contact any company that you are interested in and request their exact requirements.
Good Luck,
Dave Bidwell
