Yes I know what you mean there, and I totally agree with you!!
Unfortunately foreign airlines like FR or EZY (and possibly a few more) who have bases in Italy do not have to comply with ENAC (the Italian CAA) regulations so many people who see the hard work of a licence something like a pain can now fly out of italy for one of those companies, with standards that differ from the rest of the italian airlines. I think it's just because EZY is regulated (if this is the "correct" word) by the CAA and FR by the IAA. Do not know what kind of agreements they have with each other, however to get rid of these differences a European licence would be the ideal solution. After all we already comply to JAR Ops
