Pretty much exactly my point. The rules for a pharmacist, or a lawyer, or a teacher, or a nurse, vary by country because they have very different approaches, laws and regulations by country. Aviation does not have massively different rules and standards across jurisdictions, for the most part, they are purposely kept similar.

If you never sat EASA ATPLs why are you engaging in a conversation how people should just accept they are different, when you have no knowledge to back that up?

Live with it!!
So because you gained your licneses many year ago at a time when everything was much more convoluted and difficult, people should just suck it up and live with it being more convoluted and difficult again for no reason because "how'd ya like them apples"? To be honest, exactly the "I'm old enough for it to not effect me" attitude of the average ignorant Brexiteer... live with it!
