Is there a comprehensive and/or concise document online anywhere that describes the new proposals?
Shameless bump for this thread, for which I make no apology.
Here's the skybrary link to EU-OPS 1:

Page 223 is where Subpart Q - Flight Time Limitations begins. They are the rules verbatim.
And for the lazy, the document below is a decent run-down of the significant changes, complete with observations and comment. Easy to read, even for a pilot!

I've noticed over the last few days there's been a video doing the rounds to guide people (not just pilots!) towards the e-petition, for those that haven't seen it it's here:
I wonder if those of you who are members of other generic social networks might be able to link that video to your walls to open this up a bit to the general public. Failing that, a group e-mail to your contacts perhaps? Remember, we need 100,000 signatures minimum for this to stand a chance of serious debate; we will struggle if this is kept purely within the industry.
Just over 6,000 signatures so far, I'm sure that's about 1500 more than yesterday evening so maybe social networking has its uses!
