It’s simply the normal game. You want to get an FAA license? Pass the FAA written and aural exam. You want to fly in China? Again, pass the full license examination. Same in Europe. In the end it is just studying a lot for a few months, pass and move on.
i can understand the frustration, but in the end there is nothing but concentrating and working hard, same as all others that want to join a certain aviation market have to do. Is the EASA system perfect? Hell no, bit it is the system in place, arrange yourself with it or move on, no rant in the world is going to change that system.
