Absolutely and comprehensively wrong, most of the rest of the world (unlike the nonsense in Australia surrounding ICUS) comply with ICAO Annex 1 rules for logging pilot hours.
So, leadsled, if these pilots are applying for an
Australian ATPL, would they not then be following (in your words) the 'nonsense' ICUS rules that apply in Australia regardless of what rules apply in the country of their employment?
