Are you about to be shafted by the UK to EASA ATPL transition?

Hi,

If you hold a UK ATPL & have less than 500 hours on a multi-pilot aircraft, this affects YOU..... if not, feel free to stop reading now.

As an ex-military fast jet bloke who's held a UK ATPL for over a decade (& has been using it professionally for the last 5 years), I'm about to lose it in the impending transition to EASA Part FCL licences. This is because I don't have any multi-pilot time & EASA regulations require an ATPL holder to have 500 hours on a multi-pilot aircraft. I know of another two of us in the same position but suspect there are very few others & we are probably all current or ex-military fast jet pilots who gained our UK ATPLs just before the JAR transition a decade ago.

We are currently putting together a case to take to the CAA & EASA so if you think you may be disadvantaged by the same legislation, please feel free to PM me - it may be to your advantage.
