Going back to CAP371 please no. What about the factoring of FDP for 2 crew sectors over 7 hours (let's bring back flight engineers). O and the acclimatisation rules where you immediately non acclimatise if over 3 hours TZ when the science in EASA says you gradually adapt. And the early / late / night rules which cause poor rostering patterns when the science says its better to stay in the pattern.
And a crew reporting at 0550LT on CAP371 3 sectors get a 09:30 allowable FDP whereas EASA 12.15 (which was similar to Sub Part Q which was in Europe for god knows how long so all Euro Airlines crews managed before)
And then let's remember EASA has FRMS which then obliges crew members to look at commuting that area which under CAP371 wasn't considered as the last edition was what 2004?
I'm sure the Directors at Thomson / Thomas Cook / DHL Air would love to go back to CAP371 so they could be (safely) out performed by their Euro counterparts.
Yep for sure EASA FTL could do with a few tweaks but please not CAP371 - Douglas Bader is long gone
