The gathering of Italian Corporate Pilots was a great idea, especially with regard to the operation of the 139. However, it seems a pity it was confined to corporate pilots (after all, the aircraft neither knows nor cares who or what is in the cabin) and only to Italian pilots.
Unless, of course, there is a plan to disseminate any useful infromation from that meeting to other interested parties, or, even better, to repeat the exercise in the different theatres where the aircraft is operated.
Regardless of geographical location or type of operation, it's really silly that those of us who are lucky enough to fly but who also carry the accompanying responsibilities involved in operating this fine aircraft are still scrabbling around amongst ourselves to keep abreast of developments and in the search for explanations for different things, whether by e-mail, telephone or even here on PPRuNe.
And, while I'm at it, where the hell are we with the MTOW increase?
