Thanks for the replies guys.

I was looking into license validation in the country I hope to gain employment in. But I am not sure that even if they do validate your license in said country, will an airline accept a validated license like that? Anybody know?


As redsnail mentioned about the CAA and the heavy jet time, it seems that at least the CAA are somewhat going in the right direction. Unfortunently I do not even have 1 hour of heavy jet time, and probably will not for another probably at least 4 years, especially not as PIC.

I still think it is rediculous though that it has to be heavy jet time?? Why can't it be multi-crew time instead? There is absolutely no reason, or logic behind this at all. Flying a SAAB340 for 5 years, or flying a 767 for 5 years, in the end of it all both guys are only going to be more expierienced flying their particular aircraft, not flying. As a matter of fact, the guy on the SAAB is probably going to have more take-offs, approaches, landings made then the 767 guy. I know complaining about it isnt going to change anything, but it is just beyond me how little common sense is used in things or systems that affect so many.

Finals19, how is your conversion going? What are you finding to be the most difficult about the JAA exams compared to the Canadian exams? Good luck.
