You would have to think that eventually it will need to be implemented..
Or EASA are really true to their word and working around the clock to a BASA with the FAA in which case as a BASA is close on PPL stuff they will without doubt extend 2016 for CPL and ATPL while they achieve a BASA on that.
If that is the case we will be complying with what is required by that BASA not what is in the existing regulations
Then my estimation of EASA will increase two fold, If not they will be disclosed as the Liars and cheats and dishonest organisation that many suspect
They could deal with the dual licensing thing so easily and fairly with existing working pilots by issuing a restricted CPL or ATPL valid 3rd country private aircraft only and not public transport that would cost little in money and time
