One thing I did pick up from Beagles latest document update was the loss of having a licence in one EASA country and your medical records in another. Under the new rules you will need to have your licence in the country that holds your medical records. So for example a Brit living in France with a UK licence will either have to get a French licence or come back to the UK for a medical each time it is required.
That then leaves those who have a UK Class 1, a JAA licence from another member state and who work in a 3rd country with a dilemma as to where to have the state of licence issue.
It will be interesting to see how Ryanair handle this as I understand they make all of their crew switch to Irish licences regardless odd operating base.
