Obviously the Aussies, Kiwis, USA, Cayman Islands, Bermuda, etc think that an ICAO licence holds alot of water if a bridging exam is done but the Poms do not! Cayman and Bermuda just validate another ICAO licence. You are not saying that the pilots flying these aircraft are somewhat sub-standard I hope?
Look, I (luckily) do not need a JAA licence and I am well aware of the requirements if I one day need one but the differences are huge between countries. Maybe the JAA should leave ICAO altogether.
