I don't think Pace works for a commercial operator. I seem to recall he is paid to fly Part 91 operations (I.e. someone's privately operated aircraft).

However I think your desperation in avoiding hedging your bets has the potential to lead others astray and possibly into trouble.

With all respect you are talking ??? Firstly I would not advice anyone to needlessly spend a fortune in time and money getting European licences now when I am very reliably informed that when all this mess is cleared up yes both licences will be required but the route to that conversion will be quick and simple!
Ok if you have time and money to burn convert now
We already now it's likely that someone with a FAA PPL IR and a set experience level is now unlikely to sit seven exams but purely fly a flight test and have an oral exam! It's likely that a similar route will be offered on commercial licences!

So if someone wants to go ahead now and spend six months doing 14 exams and all the flight costs on top then that's what they should do!
That is not what I am advised!

You could be right and then I will have egg on my face but I don't think it's me who will have the egg to wipe off!

And yes I think you would hate a sensible conversion from an FAA ATP to an EASA one
