Where did you get that info from? I haven't seen any announcements yet.
That's because there hasn't been an official announcement yet! Some of us may have heard various snippets, but it would be rather stupid to come up with a "Well, I've heard....." type post at this stage - in case the CAA has decided not to accept some particular aspect or other.
Isn't the civil IRE restriction type-specific? In other words, if it isn't allowed to take passengers then (for some mindless reason), it isn't even allowed to take a civil IRE on the jump seat?
