Cannot comment on the 737 shorthaul operation but the 767 longhaul operation continues with the senior captains,with thousands of hours of worldwide longhaul experience trying to maintain standards.
What is now p****g us all off bigtime are the inflammatory and mostly inaccurate and unhelpful posts from a group of expat pilots,who were given employment when they had none, and now, having parted company are trying to sink that ship and all who sail in it.Well done guys, you do your nation proud.
Most of your shots should be aimed at the Italian governing authority who allow such absurd flight time limitations,private deals between flight ops inspectors and their companies and indeed the present Italian government.
Go and bite the hand of someone else and let us try and improve our lot, but dont take that arrogant stance of condemning just because things are not done the perfect french way.
No offence meant.
B.T.W. understand BA has procedure for engine-running refuelling at this present time but then, we are not quite as expert as you on JAR Ops so maybe you should inform BA that they are breaking the French law.
