The distinction I'm making is that 'Europe' and 'European' are geographical definitions, not political.
That's weird because I agree with everything you just said! So I'm confused what you have to disagree about.
Can you elaborate on the 'error' you mention in post #6?
The OP is an EU-national with a CAA license. I made a comment that
Presumably they have or had the right to live and work in the UK, hence the CAA license, and now they want an EASA one. I think you got a bit carried away.
