Thanks for all the replies
Tins Under the old system it would only have been necessary to sit a few extra exams to have a frozen ATPL/A from CPL level.
To my unsympathetic chums - I wasn't looking for sympathy. I admit I'm too old and ugly to need a shoulder to cry on, I'm just trying to show the ridiculousness (is that a word?) of the situation.
I am going to appeal to the CAA and I hope to have the help of BALPA in this.
Just a thought - Ex-military pilots are exempt from most of the JAR ATPL exams despite having no civilian experience. How come experienced civilian pilots are being discriminated against? Is there a human rights issue here I could exploit?
Would the Wicked Witch help?
