Honestly - the lunatics are taking over.
Anyone who thinks that we'll be going back to the old FTLs is utterly, utterly deluded. It will be all the CAA can do for the 1st ten years to keep the existing AOC holders operating - they won't have time to return to the days of Empire, I'm afraid. And how are we going to certify aircraft? And anyone that has had anything to do with the medical department knows that, err, THERE ISN"T ONE. I'm looking forward to the absolute chaos of putting this Daily Mail driven idiocy into place. It's gonna be bad...
