I appreciate this may be an "old chestnut" but my cursory searched revealed no obvious threads.
I hold an EASA (UK) ATPL and have 6,500TT, all commercial ME (3000hrs PiC) bar the first 200 hours.
I am considering taking advantage of the current pilot shortage in the US and thus need to look at gaining an FAA ATPL
I looked at this some years ago but I am aware things have changed very recently so my questions are thus:
1. What are the new requirements? ATP Knowledge test and check ride?
2. Do I surrender my EASA licence or am I able to retain both?
3. Any recommended places to do the requisite training?
4. Anyone here done similar?
Thanks in advance.
