Welcome to a truly F***d system, 17 years ago they wouldn't accept my multi time on AS355 and Bo105, as they claimed it needed to be on a type that "required" 2 crew (not many helicopter types require 2 crew, but they had transposed this from fixed wing, believe they have amended this now). At the time many Kiwi pilot's had not long received their ATPL(H) on a grandfather type method (in the packet of corn flakes)!!! Settled for just a CPL, but was somewhat pissed off as I'd gone to a great deal of effort/expense to obtain my UK ATPL(H). For me this hasn't been a problem, but I have sympathy for your position as it may limit your employment options.
