Changing jobs with a current Instrument Rating
In order to change jobs and change type, i.e. doing a new type rating, you need a current IR (or whatever they call it today). But say your IR runs out a few weeks before you leave. Your existing employer is reluctant to spend money on sim time and the examiner. They may judge it worthwhile giving you gardening leave for those last few weeks.
Of course you can't go without the IR rating............so you have to stay.
Anybody got into this situation?
