Yet Another Conversion Question ;-)

Hello,

Sitting with a few friends talking and was wondering if anyone would know anything about our following Question!!!!.

If a person is sitting with his/her FAA ATP with lets say 3000 hours total time and 1-2 PIC typeratings and wants to convert to JAA ATPL, he/she have already done the 14 exams and passed and can now do under the regulations as he/she have over 1500 hrs MULTI crew time a Skill test in the jet they are rated in.

Heres the question: Under these regulations you can do a skill test in the aircraft or SIM but would need a CAA examiner with you this is often HIGHLY expencive as they fly FIRST CLASS and stay in 5 star hotels ontop of renting the aircraft or SIM.

Would the following be possible? As they have already passed their JAA ATPL exams, just do a simple CPL, MULTI/IR conversion !!!!
This should give them their JAA ATPL Unfrozen as far as i know, granted their Typeratings would not be valid under JAA.
But as far as i know, but not sure if im right or not, if they do it this way all they would have to do to get their Typeratings JAA is to do the JAA simride on a Renewal next time they go for Recurrent training!!!!!

Thanks
