So my tongue in cheek comment about being on the N worked well !!!! In my experience you can do pretty much what you like on the N and nobody says Boo !!
CAA inspectors walk around me to get to a good old EASA AOC ..... easy pickings for them !! If they do come up to interview me , only happened twice in 35 years , I just tell them to make an appointment for an interview as they have no legal right to keep me !!
Flying in this country is coming to an end at its all you spineless pilots and operators who are to blame !!!
its too late now to demand any sort of common sense ... you missed your chance . I have said for years that every single AOC company should stop paying and just do lease flights ...... that would certainly get their attention and things would change . But I dont really care now as I have been outside the system for so long . Fly on the N !!!!!!!
NB ... sorry , looking at this rant it would have been better on the why bother with EASA !!!!!!
