Also if EASA passes the new FTL's it means our employers can work us an extra 100 hours p.a which means they can employ less crew without any extra salary being paid.
While nothing is decided yet, the proposed EASA NPA 2010-14 absolutely doesn't state this. Quite the opposite actually, at least if currently regulated by Subpart Q. Don't know what the UK CAA FTL is at the moment, so I could be wrong on that part.
The recommended option would still be 900 hours per calender year, and max. 1000 per 12 consecutive calender months. This is actually MORE restrictive than the current limit of just 900 per calender year, which would make it possible to do 1200 hours in a 12 month running period.
