"Where we differ is the outcome - EASA will leave single country opt-outs and schemes to be run by their individual CAAs,"
From 3.2 of the CAA document in the first post, my interpretation of any "opt-out" will be for a finite period only to allow for national authorities to implement any necessary changes so that, by 2015, they will be fully compliant with EASA directives. Surely this would mean that there could only be one rule pan europe.
If this was not the case, we really would have to question if the CAA are implying that the French military pilot is more qualified than the British military pilot.
