As I said before, when I taught in Cyprus, every flight had to have a flight plan and we had to fly to the training area to conduct training and notify they return time.
Which to be fair is irrelevant. We dont have corporal punishment but the us does, doesnt make it a good thing though.
Pilots whinge because also to be fair there is constant regulatory pressure to limit what we do; i am not aware of similiar pressure in any other enviroment. Moreover there is often no case to be answered.
Dont run down those that challenge changes in whatever way they wish but i agree every encouragement to make their vies known through the official channels is to be applauded.
