Why all the rush to unfreeze ATPLs?
What good is an ATPL without Multi-pilot time?
I had a Frozen ATPL and recently paid the fee and got a JAR CPL with ATPL knowledge credit. There was no requirement other than to cough up the fee and the same rules apply to the ATPL credit on the JAR licence with regard to the IR.
Me thinks that paying the JAR fee is far cheaper than paying for lots of hours.
