Breach of Contract

I paid cash to the CAA for the issue of an EASA Licence which was valid in all EASA states and also included recognition in some non EU member EASA associated countries such as Norway, Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Iceland.

The CAA have once again stolen my licence privileges as they periodically do (IMC rating and BCPL).

Have we passed the point were the CAA can no longer be trusted with the basic responsibility for pilot licensing ?

Do pilots with British issued Licences need to form their own Professional Licencing Institute similar to the BMA for medical doctors or the Law Society for solicitors or the Institute of Chartered Accountants for Accountants. This non Governmental professional body could then negotiate directly with EASA for mutual recognition for its members qualifications independently free from the ideology of the Government of the Day on the understanding that with recognition our members would have to accept the jurisdiction of the ECJ while exercising their professional licence privileges
