I am not aware that any AAI pilots are working without work permits, from their bases.
I am aware however that the Icelandic CAA give out 12 month validations for ICAO/FAA to fly JAA registed A/C. and are renewed yearly. This cannot be right or fair can it? What about the person who has got off their backsides, have spent a great deal of money, time, sweat and tears to get a JAA licence when they could have saved themselves a fortune, by obtaining an FAA licence for example and operate on a validation.
It used to be that a JAA member state would grant a validation so the crewmember could within the 12 months complete the necessary licence conversion.
IMHO there is abuse of this system by the Icelandic CAA and others.
