I don't think it will ever happen smudge. If some fool in EASA sanctions this latest proposal then they are going to be held accountable come the next smoking hole in the ground. Harsh I know, but that is the reality of the situation and this will be the end of safe air travel as we know it.
I have spoken to a few drivers regarding this issue and they have all expressed grave concern at the prospect of some untrained, unqualified and inexperienced person certifying their aircraft as fit for flight.
