Will GAPAN be paying compensation to all those who had to jump through all these uneccessary hoops in order to be JAA instructors?
If this proposal was implemented the CPL exams may well need to be scrapped. There would be no little point in them as most of the jobs for CPL exam candidates come from the instructing sector.
On that subject of wasting money jumping through unneccessary hoops: Of course we still are waiting for the European response to the impending ICAO Multipilot licence that will soon put PPLs straight into airline training - this will reduce CPL and ME IR training in those countries as those equivalent bits would be covered in the multi pilot rating in the context of the airliner - no need to bother about PFLs or single pilot ops when you dont need these skills?
We should all know a lot more next year about the next raft of changes that are being proposed when the Freedom of Information Act comes into force and the CAA will be required to reveal all its minutes on these matters if asked....
Effect of JAA implementation on UK (CPL) Pilots
1/ Increased Cost
2/ Increased Difficulty
3/ Increased Time
4/ More competition for jobs from English speakers in EU
BUT NO ACCOUNTABILITY - NOBODY VOTED FOR ALL THIS
And now what is planned next?
Oh; lets relax all the rules again; so youv'e wasted all that cash!
We have wasted your time and money but we dont care...
