It is said that the 'working time regulation' within the aviation industrie will become mandatory, rather than optional....
BUT, they still don't really understand the industrie as it is...
Many people HAVE to work SO MUCH overtime to live.....
As it is.. It doesn't recognise the differece between living five mins from an airfield and an hour or two away....
We are limited to where our work can comence..... And where we live.....
Regulation is needed yes, but in the right proportions.....
WTR is a good idea ONLY if people ar paid enough to live on within these restrictions......
