JAA/UK ATPL
300ER I believe the JAR is easier, there is only one Nav. paper which includes a short plot on a Lamberts also the Met Prac has gone, but Climatology still remains. So now there is 14 exams to pass instead of 16.
The time span to pass all the exams I believe has been reduced, unlike the old UK ATPL which had to be passed in two years a failure in three sujects required one to sit the lot again.
If those standards were reintroduced the surplusof young fellows would soon dry up.
