Cerberus:
Point of my question was does anyone have any further information about this rumor? Simply yes or no.
Has anybody actually had their visa translated so they know what they have written in their passport? Surely some of you have not put total faith in the system to have a document in your passport that you have never read?
I do suppose that if all the pilots of an airline walked over to the Ministry of Justice, something could be done, the laborers do it all the time after they haven't been paid in 3 months time in order to collect there wages.
If you are contracted as a ATPL but your visa which you have never read/got translated states different and the minimums are different surely something could be done

Page 25 of this publication states that there is an Official Gazette that states all the minimums etc... But surprisingly I can not get a hold of the gazette.......
I posted here about it, hoping that perhaps some of you other pilots would know anything about this. That is why I ask for information and not stated blatenly that you guys are getting hosed because they took for granted they would get 1000's of expat pilots who wouldn't never get their visa's translated while working in a foriegn country.
