P2,

Well done. I hope others have made at least some effort because that's what is needed.

The train drivers just say - 'No!'

I was grounded 6 years ago with the same problem as the Gen Sec so I have only signed the FTL petition but have put most of my energy into CAQ, as that's my main passion as I no longer fly and don't fully understand the FTL issue (except that increasing duty times further is madness).

When you lose your job at 49 - it is a nightmare to 'find something else to do' and I think that a big part of the problem is that highly trained pilots are dabbling in areas that we don't know much about and worse - bring our flying expectations of accuracy, timeliness and integrity to bear on outside life where they are not recognised.
