Now calm down. Keep taking the tablets. Your condition is curable, with a lot of help and time.
I draw your attention to Page 1 of this thread, alapt writes: "Unfortunately, most of us are out of luck because we do not have EU licenses" I interpret this to mean, if a pilot is not in possession of a EU licence, then he is in possession of a non eu licence. Do you follow me so far? Good. If the aforementioned pilot has been employed by Cargolion (JAA compliant?), then he must have been issued with a validation, if he was not the holder of a EU licence.
And yes, the EU/JAA are too soft. Will the FAA, for eg. issue a validation on the strength of a JAA/EU licence? Don't think so.
Then there is the work permit/Greencard subject. No level playing field there either.
