The only reason things are getting better are due to a certain gentleman who is head of EASA. When he leaves, it is anyone's guess as to whether the next person to sit in that chair will continue the GA friendly route he has begun - it all depends on mentality. To claim that CAA = bad, EASA = Good based on the intentions of one manager is a bit short sighted, to say the least.
