I heard Bob Zeng say specifically that a Type Rating is not valid until the LOFT is complete. It has nothing to do with IOE.

So, if you leave after a Type Ride without completing the LOFT, your Type Rating is NOT valid and should be pulled. Once the LOFT is finished however, the Type is yours forever. IOE has nothing to do with it. The FAA verified that statement in my presence.

Omni will not try to jerk you around for no reason. There is no point in that.

And why would you suggest anyone come here and then resign so quickly??? We don't need people who don't plan on sticking around for a couple years at minimum.
