As I said elsewhere, the CAA are not a lobbying organisation. Their role is to pepare to implement the EASA regulations into the ANO - nothing else.
When we had Part M, they could have accepted (as did other NAAs) the extension, but they didn't. They implemented earlier han anyone else before the rules were completely sorted.
If anyone thinks that the Belgrano will stand up for us.................!!!!
There is no reason why they can't go to EASA, for example to say how they propose to migrate pilots to the new licences. But, again, they won't. They will follow the letter of the law rather than push for pragmatic means of compliance
