As I said if nobody ever failed it I wouldn't have an issue with it being by experence.
But I do know of several people who have failed it while doing way more than the minimum experence that is required by the rolling setup.
I really haven't lost anything. And its only a very very small amount of the 450 000 pilots in the EU that this is going to be even a passing glance for.
Either way it is going to have zero effect on my life.
I have never had an issue yet getting my JAR license either converted or validated and like it or not it is seen as a gold standard in alot of places especially a UK one.
