Some sound points from HEDP. Not quite sure about the Night Flying bit. Down here in Kernew, we Night fly Mondays and Tuesdays and then get the other 5 nights at home with the family - seems to suit everyone.
And I thought that Flying hours were being Increased, not reduced. In fact we have had our Flying rate increased by some 18% from last year.
Good point about the transit though. We need to gain maximum training benefit from every minute of our flying hours.
