Thanks for all the replies! I contacted the CAA today who were no help at all spoke to the advisor who said look at Lasors and the manager said the same thing. I can understand that it is in Lasors but it must have been published some place or in the pipeline that an IR alone will freeze the ATPL credits for people to be talking about it?? I am also unable to get an extension being made redundant does not qualify which i would normally accept but in todays current situation i think it should be reviewed!
Looks like all 14 ATPL again or going the FAA route and then converting to save the trouble?
