The last plan I heard was to run two sets of exams in parallel for a period. That would of course mean running two sets of crammer courses, having two sets of manuals current at the same time.....
potkettleblack, the course you describe is what we would have designed for the MPL - because ICAO allows the FTO to design its own course and test the candidates internally - but unfortunately the JAA have decided everyone still has to do a 750 hour course and all the normal exams.
........I can feel myself getting upset.
