Limits are being pushed everywhere. Its a spiral dive. Eu airlines look at the competitive advantage qatar has on ftl’s and mark my words they will lobby easa to follow suit.
The arguement will be “airliners are not dropping out the sky” and unfortunately until there is an accident because of this (difficult to prove) nothing will change.
Remeber how the TFS KLM accident was a sea change for CRM, unfortunately until there is an FTL related accident nothing will change, especially in a third world country like Qatar.
