MASenger, What are you dribbling about you post consists of nonsense!!!!!!!!!!!
Lloyd,
Thats right no rubber stamp to UK ATPL as a result of massive cheating some years ago. The UK CAA actually sent their own invigilators to oversee to papers and exams until the not for the issue of UK license rubber stamp was introduced on the result papers. You are correct that the exams and syllabus is identical to the CAA.
But, if you have experience and the right of abode in the UK/EU or join as an expat you can get a JAA/CAA validation based on your employment contract.
Wooblah.
