Dear all,

My question is not only about IR but Type rating too... since i have an IR (multi pilot) associated with my TR now.

Here the main problem...(sadly)

Last year got a A320 TR, but unfortunately, recruitment has been cancelled...

Still unemployed right now, after nearly one year, I have to re-validate it.
I don't have hours on type of course...

Well If I do not do it, if I understand , the TR will be valid until 5 years, I just have to renew it within this period.

Well, I have money to re validate, but I don't want to do it every year... I mean, I spent nearly one year now, without finding a job while it was valid.

So, I was thinking to renew it if I have too...but in the 4th year.

What happens to my IR too ? Because I guess that my IR is going to expire too ?

My case is it a big deal ?

I just imagine pilot who work for an airline and then are fired... do they re-validate their TR on their own expenses then ?
Is it worth it ?

Can I still apply for A320 in case, with my TR expired but still on my licence (for 5 years)?
Is it anyway possible to apply for other operator (Beech, etc) with a multi IR not current but valid ?


Thanks for your advices
