So the Comminwealth requires that to get an ATPL you must complete a flight test? Yep, show you're good enough against published standards. Gosh!! That's a harsh burden.
I know plenty of people who do that in the sim or aircraft several times a year.
And to fly in a multi crew aircraft you have to have been trained in the arts of multi crew cooperation. Again. Gosh!!
And operate multi-crew aircraft every day having been trained in multi crew cooperation.
And after all that they still need to pay out what I understand is in the tens of thousands of dollars, or be employed by an organization that will put them up for the flight test, in order to get an ATPL. It's a significant and unnecessary expense that does nothing for flight safety.
