JAA ATPL NEW LICENCE FOR AUSTRALIA

You just don't get it. The legal action taken by AIPA is not to stop Jet* pilots flying the A330 but is to ensure that they get appropriate compensation and work conditions and therefore put the brakes on the race to the bottom.

No Emu, you are incorrect.
In 89 - the fat man asked his good mate Bob to allow the 'imports'. It was a unique strike situation and Bob slipped it throught Parliment in the wee hours. "Darth Dixon" won't get such a benefit.

Emu,
As one who's done both the Australian ATPL exams (1995) and the JAA exams (2001) I can honestly say that the Australian exams are not a piece of cake. Nor are they impossible. The JAA syllabus requires a comparatively shallow depth of knowledge on a broad range of subjects where as the Australian syllabus requires a much deeper level of knowledge on a narrower range of subjects.
The Australian ATPL syllabus doesn't bother with the multi engine piston stuff as it was covered in the CPL & IR syllabus. The JAA system is set up so you don't have to do the CPL or IR syllabus, just the PPL and ATPL.

You are spot on Redsnail, nothing has changed since you did them. I just finished last month.
Been flying the same aircraft same EU airspace for 4 years then they changed the rego to an EU. So no exemptions , 14 exams thankyou. 1 year and 5000 pounds later and im still flying the same aircraft same airspace.
Half the exam is at CPL level and the other at ATPL. they even have VFR nav and coms in the exams! the Aust ATPL is much more orientated to large transport category aircraft and operations.

Things maybe changing in UK re work Visas
The United Kingdom is reviewing the entry requirements. In the future family and ancestry may not entitle work visas. It is moving toward a points system. There MAY be a time when Australian pilots with JAA licences will favoured, due to a shortage of pilots in the U.K.

Well Easy Ride you just confirmed my thoughts on the EU atitude. The present systen of licencing has no safety basis, just pure politics.
Your solution that they have pilots in the wings maybe right, but one lacking factor they have to find ones that have a tiny bit of experience and who are willing to work! you will have to check a few iron lungs before you fine one.
