This change is scandalous. Obviously it will shaft loads of UK airline pilots who went to work abroad, but it will also make any non aircraft owning IR holder think twice about doing the IR, given that the cost of a MEIR renewal in a rented can is over £1000. The cost of "suspending" it for even 1 year is a load of money dumped at an FTO.
