Ottergirl,
There is actually a thread on the Rumours and News thread above, where some pilots are voicing their opinions.
Opinions seem to vary, not all are predicting the end of the world!!! It seems to be monthly hours that is worrying them the most and I expect that is, what is, really the worry for our pilots.
I can't imagine that BA would roster 7.3 hours off after a transatlantic flight or that any of our Unions would accept that even if the rules did allow for it!!
Take care
