"The system meets the regulatory requirements,"
No ****!
Well I have a message for the EK mouth piece. The legal minimum rest periods, especially on international flights is nowhere near enough and the max monthly and yearly flight times are far too much.
Just because they are legal is no recommendation to me. It may satisfy the insurance companies, until there is a prang and then watch them squeal.
It has been mentioned before and i will run it again. It is know as "tombstone regulation". I.E., nothing will change until there is a gaping, smoking hole in the ground.
