Clearly stated
Mr @. You have shown how the carriers will meet the regulations, irrespective of anything else. In the UK, companies and govt departments have become brilliant at meeting the rules and ticking the boxes - irrespective of the end result. If it meets the regs - than that is good.
In a period of global financial contraction that has years to run, expect this forum to contain a continuing list of things that carriers no longer do as well as they did:
- service / politeness
- food
- drink
- comfort
- adding extra stops to add extra pax
- dropping stops to speed round trip times and save fuel
- dropping routes
- dropping frequencies
- using ETOPS wherever possible
Oh, I see that we have already started.
