I am not fighting you on that as I agree with what you are saying
but I also do not agree with commercial pilots being put through anymore of a treadmill than say an FAA ATP.
The quality of both is the same proved time and time again so why 14 exams for a JAA ATP.
I do not think this has anything to do with separating Commercial and private but in looking at all training and slimming down the whole process from junk food to something more akin to the FAA system on private or ATP level.
