My view is CASA did not have the authority to issue a "deadline" when they knew or ought to have known that overseas pilots would be excluded. Its a form of retaliation for having left Australia to work overseas.
It's also a form of intimidation of what CASA can do to you if you go overseas.
Intimidation and retaliation are examples of bad faith conduct.
The other rationalizations are irrelevant.
Senior Commercial Pilot Licence subject papers is deemed to hold a complete credit for the Air Transport Pilot Licence examination, notwithstanding that SCPLs ceased to be valid under the Regulations at the end of 1996.
