Opssys,
Have to agree with you on the subject of unions. I'm more interested in seeing how the regulation side of it is going to pan out though. Thanks for the feedback!
silly walks,
Thanks also. Aye, all as clear as mud! I'm sure that regulation of hours will be one of many areas where JAA differs from FAA; 12 hour shifts 4-on-4-off seems to be pretty much standard format for most operators in Europe, and I can't see that changing......
