Irish FTLs??
Here's a little gem of info: there is no IAA operational equivalent of UKCAA CAP371.
Here's why: the operator submits their suggested FTL scheme to the regulator, who appraises them, and then rubber stamps them into the operators Ops Manual as the defined legal FTL framework for that airline.
Amount of line pilot input? Nil.
Amount of times the IAA have refused changes in the recent past? Nil. (The famous "resetting the clock" in FR comes to mind. 1800hrs in 18 months.....?)
So when MOL decides he needs a bit more flexiblity out of the guys, who does he ask? the pilots....?
