thanks for the info. it has been a little over two months for my security check. now that is done i am waiting to hear something else.they said they are just waiting for the letter from the dgca. i think that they are jut moving slowly since they don't have the atrs yet. i haven't flown the atr in over two years but it is such a simple plane to fly. they know that i am not current in the atr but i have heard nothing of how they expect me to get current. would rather not have to do it myself or course. hopefully you get out of the abyss soon.
