As pointed out in a previous thread, a significant change to the UAE CAR-OPS 1 regulations has been proposed by the regulatory authorities. It was brought up under an EK thread but it equally is applicable to each of the other airlines based in the UAE.
Specifically the new proposed legislation will allow an airline in the UAE to fly its pilots to 1000 hours/year instead of the current maximum of 900 hours per year.
The GCAA has invited all persons who might be affected by this change in regulations to comment on whether they are in agreement or not.
I would suggest that those who do not submit some sort of response will be deemed by the authorities to be in agreement with the proposed changes. Therefore if you have
ANY reservations about these changes it is imperative you submit a response to the GCAA prior to 01 May 2007.
The proposed amendment is titled NPA 03/07. Here is the link:

At the end of the notice you will find a "response sheet". Please take the time to fill it out and either email it or fax it to the GCAA.
Should you be interested in reading the CAR-OPS 1 with the proposed change, here is the link:

Remember, no response WILL be interpreted by the GCAA as being in agreement. Here is a chance to have your say as to whether you agree with the proposed changes or not.
