jimbaba, i think you might be in a position where you don't have to do the 14 JAA ATPLwrittens "A minimum of 3,000 hours as pilot of public transport aircraft over 30,000 kgs MTWA on scheduled international or similar routes, a minimum of 1,500 hours of which must have been as Pilot-in-Command."
I think you might want to check this with the CAA,i stand to be corrected.
I believe they should take this 'backdoor' out,but if these are the rules,good luck.
