It never ceases to amaze me with regard to the problems faced by students training for their JAA licences.
Surely the idea of the JAA licences, especially the CPL/ATPL was so that any student of a fully compliant JAA member state could train in any one of those countries, get the JAA licence, and then work in any one of those said countries.
It doesn't seem very 'Joint' to me at all. I regularly see jobs advertised from UK airlines that ask for the JAA ATPL to have been issued in the UK, otherwise don't apply etc..
JAA just doesn't seem to be working, it has been years since this system started and it still seems to be that every JAA member state has it's own rules.
Tell me, what is the point of getting more and more countries to become JAA compliant, if the JAA licence issued from that country is worth Jack Shi* ??
WASTE OF MONEY !!!!!
