The two major factions on licences also confuses me.
On one hand you have a company that says you cannot be hired nor fly these aircrafts in this country because we don't recognize your licence.However it is perfectly O.K for you to fly the same aircraft,enter our airspace, land and pick up the same pax because you work for a company that does.
Someone should come up with the idea of standardisation of type licences instead, regardless of CAA/FAA initial issuance!That way I can fly a UNITED 777,CX 777 ,BA 777 or RBA 777 if they got one.So if you have flown 4 types then you would have 4 type licences & have 1 current at any given moment.It would then be up to the company whether they insist you are current for the type they want.
Now I come across airlines requiring ICAO licences.My own licence is regarded as one( UK CAA ATPL papers). Now can I apply for RBA requiring CAA UK ATPL?
