That's very interesting.
I was under the impression that to add a Multi crew type I would in fact have to redo the ATPLs, hadn't noted the lack of a timeline on that requirement?. I already have a CPL so don't need them for that, I can gain an IR via the CB-IR upgrade route so don't need them for that either, just purely the need to add a multi crew type for airline flying was my thinking.
Will do some digging thanks.
