Can someone explain the CAA/EASA thinking that a Pilot rated for Single Pilot IFR operation of a helicopter cannot safely then operate in a Two Pilot operation of the same helicopter without taking some additional training course and paying vast sums of money for the course and subsequent Licensing Fee?

Why is that not an Operator function....train, check, and assign Pilots to their position in the Crew?

I am thinking your system is way...way...way....too cumbersome and expensive.
