Good that they are happy to leave this area nicely in the grey! Shows that they don’t give a monkey’s about flight safety if there’s a cost to it!
KYT - the CAA used to run a FTL working group where this sort of nif naf and trivia was discussed. The purposes of the group was for the CAA to use it as a sounding board. It was made up of AOC's such as scheduled, charter, low cost, night freight, Union FD/CC and Independent's. With EASA it's disbanded.
So here's the question for you. Increase report time to 90 minutes. Put's the 2 crew out of hours so maybe in-flight rest and a 3rd Pilot needed. Tour Operator says um I might as well get European Company X in to do it for half the price. I can name medium sizedUK AOC's on my two hands now.
My experience of the CAA is they do absolutely care about Flight Safety, in the big scheme of things pitching up 30 minutes earlier to drop your bag - um let's talk about commuting if you want to be serious.
