No..not aware of the State of Licence Issue. I will have done my ATPL sits here in the UK, and since people have subsequently done CPL etc in the US, assumed (mental note to self....don't assume anything in aviation!) that completing the CPL in a JAA member state would count.
That said...when the CPL is done in the states, its generally a JAA CPL and not an FAA CPL isn't it?
I am clearly lacking some knowledge in this area....would anybody on this glorious forum care to help offer a guiding hand?
