Csash,
As Max points out, the mil types are not being exempted anything. The CAA is simply recognising that they have already jumped through the hoops in their previous life. There is no point (apart from money making) in making them take a bunch of worthless exams again (standfast air law).
As I pointed out earlier, the ex military people are not being favoured here. They will almost all wind up worse off financially over their entire flying careers than the straight through civvy. That was their choice, but why do you insist that a further round of exams, which prove naff all at great expense, should be sat?
