Last I heared was that PPL BASA will be effective this year. But the CPL/ATPL will take, as Pace mentioned, years. But the fault is not EASA but the FAA
Rumors about pressure groups (some of my sources are mentioning ALPA) that are pushing the FAA to stall these regulatory amendments on purpose in order to "Protect the US market"...
If this is the case, is there a way to counter pressure the FAA ?? maybe get the NBAA to join in by noting how many Biz jet drivers will be affected (In the end bit they will loose members in favor of their European counterparts).
Is there a way to make the FAA do the right thing ??
