Thank you again Tinstaafl, and thank you B200Drvr. A lot of info and all very useful to me, I didn't know the segregation of licences with the FAA ATP. Very good to know too that "If you do the checkride on a full motion level D sim as part of the type rating course, typically you will only do questions on the oral about the aircraft you are doing the sim check on". This simplifies a lot the whole thing!
Never expected to get all my ideas so clear with a couple of posts, thank you very much guys.
