I hold a UK ATPL and a JAA ATPL - what are my rights under these new laws?? I operate regularly to the US as do hundreds of other non-US pilots. I guess in theory, the TSA and FAA can keep their sticky paws off my hard-earned licences as they are UK issued and no concern of the FAA/TSA. However, I wouldn't be surprised if there is some loophole in there somewhere that provides for non-US licence holders to be carted off and clapped in irons while their appeal is heard in the slowness of time. It would be interesting to know precisely what our rights are.

I was told by one of our senior Captains the other day - "I'm glad I'm ending my career and not just starting it, the way things are going". Me thinks he was right!!!!
