FAA to ATPL Conversion - Tests Done - now what?
Hi All,
Just waiting on the results from the last 3 exams. Hoping for the best!
I've taken my UK Medical and with the 14 exams in hand can I be hired by anyone? I'm currently a Captain flying a Dash 8 - 200 in the states with over 1000 hours as Captain and 3500 total time - 2500 in a airline crew. Also finished a A320 type rating in December.
I understand that I have to get an IR rating but what I'm wondering is would an airline hire me and then during the sim training I'd do the IR portion? Does this happen or am I stuck spending oodles on a Dash Sim or going up in a real plane (I'm assuming it would have to be a twin)?
