Mr P, its not the 'scientific' or 'unscientific' bit that worries me, but the independence of that science.

If the potato marketing board produced a 'scientific' report saying that eating chips was good for you, you would take it with a pinch of salt (as it were!)

Well here we have the same. The pilots unions and the CAA haven't banded together to produce the Moebus reort, it was produced at the behest of the EASA. It back up much of CAP371, again produced by scientists independent of the industry. The 'scientific' research submitted by the Association of Airline operators does not fall into that category.
