It seems that not many countries have applied to EASA for a derogation on N-regs, so these people may be flying illegally as from today.
Peter
How can you be flying illegally when the laws are illegal themselves?
I am of course referring to ATPs and Commercial pilots where EASA damned well know what they are doing contravenes not only employment laws but age discrimination laws.
I agree its a total mess and a huge joke if it was funny.
EASA have delayed till 2014 if individual countries do not acknowledge what has been decreed by the rule makers that is their problem.
We should take up the French mentality and say get stuffed.
Maybe it will take a court case to drive some sense into all this madness.
