It dose not make sense because thats not what is mentioned in the books and the website of casa as how to convert ATPL to CASA
it mention only couple of exams
plus some flights test
maybe what you saying is the major airlines they require that yes but not the authority make it clear

I think that particular problem has gone away under the Part 61 rules.
