That is partially correct but only to fly a UK registered aircraft and you need a minimum of 3,000 hours as pilot of public transport aircraft over 30,000 kgs MTOW on scheduled international or similar routes, a minimum of 1,500 hours of which must have been as Pilot-in-Command.
I only have an FAA ATP 4500 tt, B737NG and EMB-145 type ratings. Currently flying a B737-800 internationally. I still have to take the 14 written exams.
I basically have to start from scratch if i want to fly in Europe. I guess the European registerd airplanes are a lot harder to fly then the N registered airplanes even though most of them are made in Seattle
