Well, if AOPA etcetera have failed to generate a European wide revolt, we only have ourselves to blame, we ARE after all the community....
I think the European Parliament is very much aware of the situation, and several political fractions are discussing how to deal with it. The more stirr 60000 pilots make, the more chance of a parliamentary rebuttal
The CAA, motivated by the prospect of generating some more fee income and hiring some extra legal staff to convert legislation, is presenting this as a done deal. It is NOT. Write to your MEP's TODAY, exposing the Aviation Safety Unit of the Commission, EASA and your CAA representatives at the EASA commitee for the anti-democratic weasels that they are.
You can find sufficient materials in EASA N-reg thread in this forum. Focus on the economic impact, likely lawsuits, deviations from the EASA mandate, overall intransparency of the process.
The next transport committee of the European Parliament is next Monday, where the topic is likely to be on the agenda.
