Just a reminder to all concerned:
It is VITAL that you also write to your MP, with explanatory notes on the DfT proposal.
The DfT address to which responses are to be sent is the department which presumably drafted it, and they are free to disregard any response they don't like.
Whereas the MP's involvement cannot be thus disregarded.
I am convinced that the majority of "higher up" pilots (turboprops, jets) are completely unaware of this proposal, so mention it to anyone you know in this category.
There are only a few weeks left!
