Isnt everything suppose to come from ICAO. If someone was flying on a foreign license with a type rating that has a multi crew IR. You would think they could do a LST on their EASA license and get it added back or similar.
Flying schools could take advantage of those trying to renew IR's in light twins and those flying abroad wont want to resit 7 ATPL exams after a few years of their last IR either.
Its bad for those who cannot find employment, those working abroad and airlines who require people that may have an expired rating with experience. Eventually their will be a shortage of type rated crews.
Is BALPA or any of those affected abroad getting together to legally challenge the the IR and type rating rule changes?
Perhaps everyone should go FAA, including the European airlines operating here
