Lets be a little realistic
EASA FTL comes into UK
BA protected by scheme and BALPA
Virgin long haul a lot of augmentation outside current proposals / Balpa
Easyjet leaders in FRMS, yeah Pilots may do 5 earlies but science says thats better than whats allowed under CAP371. BALPA protection. Who in EZY thinks they will move to 7 earlies, NOT.
Thomson - probably Charter Airlines will benefit by adoption of EASA FTL, protected by strong Union, other TUI Airlines in Europe already running to Sub Part Q so Thomson will see a level playing field. How come other TUI Pilots can manage SBQ currently
Thomas Cook - similar to above Charter / Balpa
Monarch similar to above Charter / Balpa
Jet 2 similar to above Charter / Balpa
All above started to invest in FRMS already, doesnt come cheap. Profits before safety you said alosauras? (dinosaurus perhaps)
Flybe - BALPA might be a bun fight?
DHL - Science supporting consecutive nights and BALPA, sole night ops currently outside proposals
Anyone left??


Lastly, EASA FTL means that the UK has to sign up to it, but Airlines can keep their current schemes if they wish under derogation with a safety case.
