Nope...

Nope. nothing..

I guess nothing will happen now before the JAA is replaced by the EU-ops for all of Europe. Think I heard this is to happen in 2012.

As far as myself, I have finished the JAA ATPL-H exams, gotten my CPL + IR in Europe as well.

And, my opinion is even stronger about the current requirements. The JAA is extreme.
I can only speak for the helicopter side, because I do not fly fixed wing. But 80% of the theory is already forgotten.
The worst thing about JAA is that they require so hughe amounts of theory that they take the focus off the important stuff. its not about learning the theory, but about passing the exams.. which in my eyes are wrong..

Mix the FAA with the JAA and you'll find a good level.
