One "covid related" story from EASA land...
The ATPL student pilots are assumed to be students in most of the EASA area and Part FCL, except in 9A
In 9A they was only "candidates".
On the state level regulation was that the students are excluded from tough regime of each second day testing or vaccination. All to be allowed to enter in state public services (university for example).
The CCAA.hr changed that rule during the one of 10 days examination periods. Which resulted that student pilot who like to participate on exams, waited with other crowd to be tested/infected or to take vaccine and possible future risk of lost medical, sometime after.
The all exam periods after, are performed with the same Covid drill.
Today, my Junior is still healthy pilot (under 29 y/o) with his own small GA plane , only without ATPL theory
and firm stand that he is going to work only like freelancer either A or H.
PS just to note that EASA have one nice ongoing research project:
