RAFAT
You are correct. It is neither a JAR nor a CAA requirement. It is simply a company recruitment currency requirement required by most airlines when recruiting fresh blood. Basically it reduces the training risk and therefore the cost to the company of failure.
The LST issues a new type rating, the LPC renews or revalidates an existing type rating.
