To me the new procedures make sense. HOWEVER, for FD and others, as said above, all pilots MUST adhere to published company procedures and cannot 'change' procedures on the basis of an internet post.
I trust that FD has taken appropriate steps to ensure that the question of when it is implemented in the UK and by individual airlines is resolved?
Until then, we carry on as per SOPs. I will bring this to the attention of my company. Thank you for the post, FD.
Does anyone know HOW this sort of thing is resolved - with an 'effective date' in November and not yet in place?
