Because this is EU legislation it will override national legislation and protocals - so CAP 371 etc will cease to exist. All of you with wonderfull FTL agrements will find them replaced by EASA legislation and you will not have a legal leg to stand on.
Action must be taken now to alter the legislation so that it acounts for the overwhelming medical evidence regarding fatigue.
This is our only chance to do somthing because the people who draw this stuff up don't care about evidence or facts ( they ignored their own reports) they just care about looking good passing all these laws and earning brownie points.
Companies will alter their FTL rule to the lowest available as soon as they can unless we do somthing now.
Question since when was I not allowed to protest when off duty? The police managed it so why cant we? Not that we live in one of the more restrictive western democracies.
