GIJOE
Yes - as posted above if you fail at the CAA they will advise you to do this. The reason is because there is no set protocol for all of the JAA countries to follow.
Taking an objective view about this, the CAA is being quite helpful here and calling them To**ers is not going to help anyone.
And this is factual then is it GIJOE ? You have done this i.e. failed at Gatwick and then on their advice gone elsewhere to pass the same or a similar test - got a pass and then converted back to CAA - All without any problems at all ??? If you have then I will be very impressed !
Unfortunately I will still call them a bunch of To££$rs because if true it is an absolute nonsense that they are advising their own pilots to go abroad because to get fair treatment !
