I have a JAA license issued in one Nordic country but work in another Nordic country. Generally JAA licenses are accepted between all the Nordic countries "no questions asked".
However a friend of mine applied at Bond and got a letter back that he need not apply unless he has a UK JAA license.
It seems very peculiar to me that an operator in the UK will not accept/consider for employement an individual with a JAA license since the UK is also member.
This is probably not a UK CAA requirement but rather the operators requirement!?
