Instructors are trained to instruct and are a pretty mixed bag going from very good to very poor.
Examiners are there to examine and should be detached from the person they examine.
You should not have an instructor who teaches you builds a relationship with you and then examines you.
Cost is another thing.
Nothing we do get from EASA will be what we want as there is little common sense in how they operate.
Anything which we do get which is less than that which is on the table at present will be a bonus.
If you can continue your FAA IR in Europe but are required to sit an airlaw exam and take a flight test with a designated Examiner that has to be a lot better than what is there at present.
