Sounds like the new system brings FR in line with third world operators. The FR posters here ( if genuine ) don't even seem to know compromises what a proper system.
Even if we assume the poster who said offline plates were not carried except at the commanders discretion ( it is not unknown for a certain company to pressurise skippers ) was joking or lying, there is still obviously an enormous gap between FR and 'best industry practise'.
The IAA are a farce and should hang their heads in shame. Their main objective is to fund themselves by overcharging the entire industry. They are pathetic to deal with despite the money they charge and really ( other than a few retired airline pilots ) have little knowledge of a real operation.
