Unhappy CPL to ATP

Hi everyone,

What do you think about this…

I have been flying since 1980 in Europe and Overseas, holding a current JAA-CPL(H) and two ICAO ATPL(H) licenses. Presently flying Multi Pilot IR aircraft/operation outside Europe.

It is time to get the JAA license to EASA. All I would have to do is a proficiency check to change from JAA to EASA-CPL.

I have been thinking about going to ATPL level and that is where the problem starts. Inquired with the authorities and the result is, that I get only three credits (010-082-091). Basically I have to write 11 exams for an ATP without IR or 12 for ATP with IR. Does that make sense holding already an EASA CPL license? Studying never stops i know but basically doing all of it again, I think that is overboard.

Is this handled the same way in every EASA land? Should I transfer my license to another country or just let EASA go?
