That would be the worst thing that has ever happened to GA in this country - and I refer intentionaly to this country because as much as I support the EC people on this thread are concerned about what happens in their backyard.
At least even FCL008 realises there is a need for an intermediary IF rating and are in step with "modern" thinking. Modern because the Australians are the only country in recent times to have overhauled FCL and they effectively went exactly that route.
Clearly we are much further apart than I thought, sadly.
