A B73NG Captain I know was scathing - verging on downright angry - about the EASA changes proposed. He thought it was leveling the playing field, but to the level of the lowest player.
In other words, they felt it was unfair on the smaller airlines to comply with the standards of large and responsible airlines - so they will allow/enforce/police only the lowest standards.
Not involved - except as SLF - myself, but I wasn't encouraged by what he said.
Have also noted that BALPA have an input and an opinion, but not BASSA.
