BA requirement: Full UK issued JAA/CAA ATPL(F).
......hm, why is that? Are other JAA issued ATPLīs not good enough? I thought JAA was supposed to create a level playing field.

So their own TRE/TRI's can sign off the licences after check-rides I assume.
Besides, is it too much to ask to get a job? You'll note you do not require an initially UK issued licence to get a job with BA, you just have to change it to the UK issue. Try that with Air France and see how far you get!

A uk TRI/TRE can sign any JAR state licence, and vice-versa. Don't know why the restriction for BA. Maybe we're just giving the rest of europe a taste of their own medicine.

HF - The exact wording on the form is
"Do you have a full JAA/CAA ATPL? If you hold a non-UK issued ATPL you will be required to change the State of Licence issue to the UK"
Still none the wiser!

easyJet have also insisted their pilots get a UK JAA ATPL to avoid these problems.
JAR still has a long way to go before it earns the "J" (If you don't believe me, I have a "J"AA ATP that only allows me to fly "G" reg aircraft!!!)

Can't speak for other states but i'm a UK TRI/TRE (757/767) and have been signing licences for third party training for a number of years. You just have to annotate your TRE number and specify you are a UK TRE.
