I spoke recently to several UK examiners. As probably some of you are aware, the JAA will be fully replaced by the new European Aviation Safety Agency. Under this new body, new regulations will soon take effect.

According to those examiners, there will be a new regulation prohibiting FAA licensed pilots to instruct EASA qualified pilots. I assume it is for "economic" reasons. Well, what does it mean? From what I was told, Boeing, Airbus, Gulftstream, Cessna, or any other training organizations based in the US will have to hire dual FAA/EASA qualified pilots with the right of work in the United States. It is obviously very difficult to come by. This might be a new opportunity for some to make really some good $$$.
