As with 3rd country licences that works and its not the EU courts but a serious threat of EU courts which will often suffice and remember it is the commission not EASA who decide! EASA are rule makers not instigators

Third country licence is not an issue for flying in Europe. There would be an awful lot of (successful) lawsuits otherwise. So, EASA need to leave well alone.

And for those EASA lunatics that think that 'Operator location' has anything remotely to do with pilot licensing then I would say grow up and be aware that a great many professional pilots will be sticking it to you in the European Courts should you feel the need to proceed with your crappy little game

Oddly enough we are waiting for that too, because these buggers aren't going to let us have a referendum anytime soon!

The rarest living creature on Earth....

..a human who likes the EU...and thinks EASA is doing a good job.

(Note: I don't count bureaucrats as humans...more as a type of virus that infects us.)

Sadly someone has to challenge them
ISTR a few years ago there was a single crew helicopter pilot who was grounded at age 60 who tried that through the courts. I'm not aware that he got anywhere though. Perhaps someone here knows the details.

Had a "Bull Sesion" at a local airport yesterday, there were seven pilots over sixty five present, all were still flying both full and part time, lots of youngsters as well ,most of whoom want to keep going. With our low birth rate it just makes good buisines sense to keep flying beyond sixty, I myself, am about ready to "pull the pin" so as to spend more time with our toys { very old flying machines}and grand kids, but still enjoy going to work.
