Read with interest however I'm a little more advanced in my career than Duggie.
My Mrs has been offered a visa in Oz as she is on the SOL and in high demand (Intensive Care Paediatric Nurse). I hold a JAA CPL/ME/IR with passes on all 14 ATPL's, 1230TT and a JAA 757/767 TR.
Obviously I'd have to convert, am I looking at sitting all 14 exams again under CASA or is there a way out as I understand its much the same.
Secondly I know this works in the US under the FAA but can I combine my CPL/IR/ME checkride with the LST if I need a new jet Type Rating at the same time (a 2 for 1)?
