That is if it gets through the schools will be lobbying hard, it will mean the death of IR ATO's around Europe if it works out cheaper to go through FAA then convert than going through EASA commercial training from the start.

Its the fact that the IR is a rating and not linked to a license type.

There will need to be a method of blocking commercial students looping back and converting the IR onto there PPL then just doing the commercial course.

You can say safety safety all you like but its a multi million pound industry you are killing off.

I can't see it happening to be honest unless you can get a block.
