G'day AKAP,
I posted a yarn about converting the Aus ATPL to a JAR one in the Dunnunda forum about 2 months ago. I don't know all of your experience or if you have 2 pilot/crew time. However, it is a very expensive exercise. At the moment, only 737 rated people are getting the jobs. One or two others are getting a start but mainly the experienced jet guys are.
Assuming you have no 2 crew time/mil service or any thing like that.
1. Medical, to be done at Gatwick. approx 189 pounds.
2. 14 JAR exams + groundschool (length of g/s can be adjusted but it is up to the groundschool). Allow a min of 4 months full time. A full length full time course = 6 months. ~ 3800 pounds
3. Exam fees = 718 pounds.
4. No 2 crew, therefore a 50 hour IR course. At least 10,000 pounds.
5. MCC ~ 2-4,000 pounds.
For more up to date info go to the caa-srg website.
Job situation has contracted significantly since Sept 11 but it won't last forever. Some say the UK Spring should see some improvement.
