If you thought the JAA was bad, the French run EASA will be far less democratic. Reichskanzler Probst has decided that he - and he alone - will decide everything. Professional bodies might say what they like, but he will only change things if he, not any committee, so decides.
This De Gaulle-like attitude needs a major kick up the @r$e if things are not to become intolerable. And yes, Probst has issued a Fuehrer-Diktat stating that 'EASA will have no interest in private flying'. He also views the Belgrano as a 'regional office of EASA' - as the UK's national aviation authority it will cease to have any independent power.
Ein Volk, Ein Europa, Ein Probst......
