It's hilarious to read all the diatribes on here from all the naysayers. They've made it sound like it's the 'worst thing in the world'.
C'mon..... Someone has to bite soon.
Well, my guess would be that the people who have done the conversion came to terms with the idea that they had to do it and then got on with it ..... yes, the exams are painful compared to the FAA, but we all know that. If you start the EASA exams with the FAA knowledge behind you plus some aviation experience then they are quite do-able and don't need anything like the 650hrs of study time quoted. The flying is just flying - learn what you need to do and then demonstrate it to the examiner.
