AirlineApps ICAO ATPL Type Rating question
Should/can I tick the box for Turbojet Airplane Type Rating on AirlineApps if I have type ratings on my ICAO ATPL, but not on my FAA ATP?
I converted my ICAO ATPL to an FAA ATP, but didn’t want to spend more for a type rating on my FAA ATP thinking my time on the aircraft would speak for itself.

As an aside, I know some pilots (mostly non-US) out there use the term ICAO ATPL to describe any other country’s ATP other than the US but it’s a pretty useless tag. The full FAA ATP is ICAO compliant and therefore an “ICAO ATP” itself. Not sure how the practice got started but it’s a misnomer.

I understand what you're saying. I can't speak for others, but in my case I'm aware that the FAA ATP is ICAO compliant and an "ICAO ATP" itself. I just prefer to refer to my foreign license, for the purpose of this thread, in the most general term "ICAO ATPL" vs "ICAO compliant ATPL issued by X aviation authority" to keep it short and to stay anonymous by not mentioning the country I'm currently working in.

US airlines require FAA ATP
If you are trying for a US airline put your FAA ATP otherwise they will never drop your app for review
A type on a foreign license is not going to help you
