Thanks.
I've had this discussion recently on another Thread - which is similar to your comments regarding the requirements to 'renew'?
bose-x:
Its training as defined by the Head of Training up to full re training. Basically what happens is we give you an assessment and decide what is needed to renew the rating. I have no idea on the 737 as our type ratings are all turboprop but if it was one of ours for an 8 year expired rating you would be looking at doing most of it again unless you are current on something similar.

you won't have to do your bumps again though.
And it depends who you know.
I wouldn't be surprised if you can swing with some greek or eastern European ATO for not a lot.
