I think, we have more important problems to solve at the moment than the "UK-JAR Licence" issue.
Look at the bigger picture. The reason EZY insist on the UK licence is the reason why EZY is a vastly better employer than ryanair.
As the CAA won't validate licences from anywhere in the world, giving a 1 year dispensation of doing the theory exams, EZY are forced to choose from a much smaller pool of pilots. Hence they must offer decent terms and conditions.
The flip side is the corrupt IAA that offers validations to anyone. So ryanair can choose from a worldwide pool of pilots, most of whom are willing to work for peanuts, undercutting everyone else.
Far from being a problem, the UK JAR licence is the reason why you work enjoy T&C's vastly superior to ryanair. You should be down on your knees giving thanks, not bitching about it.
