I have British, Irish and NZ passports. I have an expired UK JAR FCL ATPL as well as my current ICAO ATPL.
I have 14,000 hrs and 7,000 on A320 family of which 4,000 is Capt. Also 3000 on B 737 classic 800 PIC.
I’m 58, now single ( everything comes at a cost!) and no dependant kids.
Over Asia ( no disrespect intended - just been there done that) so looking elsewhere. Interested in Europe really.
Looking at Easy, emailed Parc but they didn’t get back to me, don’t really want to go to Ryan because I prefer to stay on the bus.
Do the Irish convert ICAO licenses to EASA. Seems that’s the license required these days? UK CAA are a nightmare, 4 weeks to get a response!!
What would you do?
How long have your EASA license been expired? If less than 7 year and your ICAO license is current, I believe you just need to do a LST on the Bus and a current medical to renew the license. If more than 7 years expired, you´ll probably need some theoretical exams...
good luck
