A stupid law. Yes. Then perhaps no. If anything it ensures that us young(er) fullas and fulessas get the wise and informed views/experience of the older generation (Who actually grew up FLYING aeroplanes). If anyone was to blame on this it was the crew rostering chaps. Surely they should know the rules! All I know is that the Law is indeed an Ass. But Asses have big ears and have a nasty bite. Crappy situation to land in.
