I don't beleive for one minute this rumour is unfounded. EASA are having
fantastic problems at so many levels, so the people that actually work
in this profession in the UK need to act now.
It may be on a smaller scale to start with but what will the end result be?
Hopefully retention of responsibilities, status and continued enhanced
safety to all those that fly.
We could ALL sit back and do nothing. Allowing ill-qualified EASA people to decide not just the fate of the L.A.E. but a big chunk of how airworthiness is controlled too - this would be most unwise.
When the ALAE formed, the threat to the L.A.E. was purely national right?
This threat is different because it is EASA led - although it will certainly suit some NAAs, no doubt about that! But, would the UK CAA give up their
scheme of charges to us THAT EASILY??!!£££££££
If ammendments to 2042/2003 are only at proposal stage then we
may have a chance to influence thinking. The worst any of us can do
now is nothing. I'll see anyone who cares on the 8th April.
BAe146? + EASA
