I dont contradict myself at all either, the first comment was reference to having a UK CPL over a JAR, saying it "may" make you more employable in other JAA states.
To be honest I dont have a view on other NAA's inability to convert, this is not something I've looked in to what so ever, hence why I ask at the bottom of my last post. I am only aware of non UK JAR licence holders having to convert to UK.
Its funny how you vent your frustration here, having obviously not done enough research before getting your licence. If its you that keeps getting repeatedly shafted, perhaps we have found the common denominator?
Ironic your name is beaver too, sounds like you need to go find some.
