Yeah, I did but the regionals said they didn’t support candidates through licence conversions, which is a bit silly in my opinion since what I need is what they already offer to folk applying with commercial certs only. There is nothing else I have to do, already have the verification letter from my local FSDO too, so it’s just a paper work exercise which I’ve already done.
I’m not in a position to pick and choose right now I feel so I’m just grateful for the opportunity.
