Icao Atpl

[b757driver]

I did say "most".

You are correct... but the point is that some companies do advertise for "ICAO ATPL" but won't take the FAA ATP. If you are trying to get a foreign flying job it is helpful to have an "ATPL" in the European sense. Most countries around the world base their CAA on the European model and the FAA certificates are looked down upon. It varies quite a bit from country to country and company to company. For example, generally you can't fly in Europe with an FAA certificate, but I know someone who is flying in Switzerland on a Luxembourg endorsement of his FAA certificate... all kinds of things can be done, but it's more difficult.

FYI I have a US FAA ATP with an Icelandic validation to fly the whael currently. Moreover, I have also flown the 757 and 767 in Europe - again on validations.

Mind you, I used to have a UK CAA ATPL - now expired but still have an Iish IAA ATPL valid for another year.

I think it's called multi-tasking but it can be done if you know how!!!!

ICAO ATPL = FAA ATP, same same but different.
