I'm just a little curious (& perhaps out of touch having been away from Europe for 4 years), but how does this JAA/JAR license conversion work?
The reason I ask is that I have a UK CAA ATPL with a B-737 type rating - time expired in 2001; an Irish IAA ATPL with the whole 737 series incl. NG & an FAA ATP with B737, B757, B767 types. My last PC was in a 737-800NG in Feb 2003 & I have already been told by a recruitment agency with a contact in the CAA that since my UK ATPL is "within a 5-year window" and I already have the 737 on the FAA licence, that I would initially get a foreign licence validation & then after completing the airline's sim training, I would get the JAR licence.
I wonder if this is really accurate & whther it would also work for the 757/767 on which I have 3 years experience and some 2200 hrs out of a total of 7200+.
Comments gratefully rcvd - I may have to come back home!
