thanks for the replies, sorry meant to say i'd get a b2 as well, so I'd still have all eir on existing types, but will end up with I,R on new types. A few of us are concerned for jobs with the introduction of the A licence , does it work properly or under a smoke screen . How did it affect GA, it seems easier with a B2 to get certification rights. As far as cost goes CASA have just introduced a new scale of pricing which is pretty frightening, at least its a 5 yr licence now as opposed to 2.
