What is going on at the IAA?
It's been brought to my attention from several colleagues that the IAA's licensing department is not responding to peoples emails or calls in any reasonable amount of time. The autoresponder says it can take four to six weeks to receive a reply and it really takes over a month for licenses to arrive, delaying many peoples training. How is that for the "grand re-opening" during the high season and for flight safety to delay linetrainings after sim checks for that long?
They are still "working remotely", I can only assume it's from the the local pub. Thank God that Ryanair doesn't even need to pay the drinks to have them brush their
under the carpet if so required.

If its the brit that was the deputy and took over after his boss retired I'm not surprised..
seems that he's gone as well...hopefully something more fitting like cleaning..

Tried, unsuccessfully, for almost a year to transfer my UK CAA issued SFI qualification to my IAA ATPL. During this time my colleagues with Singapore, Indian and Australian licences completed the process with no problems at all. Go figure!

I was waiting 2 months for my New type rating entry. And now obviously Training completely stalled and I ran out of time on that ZFTT. All this while the charge you a Ton of money for a piece of paper.

Had a surprisingly quick turnaround (less than two weeks) for an address change on my licence recently. Hoping for the same when I apply to piggy back off my IAA medical for U.K. class one/licence issue 👀😬
But why on Earth does one need to have an address ON the licence? On file with the relevant authority sure. But on the licence?

Hello, what is the current waiting time for licensing procedures at the moment? I have been waiting now almost 2 months for a revalidation certificate.

That will speed things up.

Solicitors letter showing that their incompetence lost you a job offer plus loss of potential earnings might stir the pot. Even a statement that you are seeking legal advice following loss of job potential might nudge.
UK Licensing has been like this for decades. You kind of get used to bashing your head against the wall, eventually. .The problem is that they are not effectively overseen, and there's no alternative.
