I heard that you have one year to do all JAA tests and get the license , even if you are already flying for some EU airline.
Does anyone know anything about it ?

well, it depends...
if you have no experience and you wanna take all JAA licences to become airline pilot (PPL, fATPL, CPL, IR...) you'll need AT LEAST 14-15 months...
if you have some licences and need to convert them, you should contact an FTO...
dunno the difficulty (oh well not yet)...

It's not difficult, it's the volume of stuff you'll need to memorize...pretty useless for the most part. I did it in 6 months, coming from Canada and working full time, distance learning scheme, and got passes on first attempt for all 14 subjects. You do need to work hard though, and my advice: don't go for the cheap distance learning organzations. It's all about the question databases they have and fact is: organizations such as Bristol GS and Oxford will make sure you get all the knowledge you need to pass on first attemp. One more thing, go for UK schools.
