The UK CAA sticking their nose in too deeply, are they?

I believe it has to do with mixed licensing of crews (ie Icelandic validation not good for G reg)., but may have something to do with the CAA too.
Phil SQ is mostly right. If you have a good job with a national carrier go there. This job can be great for some, but most toil here till they find a better situation.
HOWEVER, I have always been treated well, paid on time, and been off (all be it without pay) when I needed to be.
