-re staff posts, I agree. The last one I held (TORs included ensuring sufficient provision was made to implement airworthiness regs) was disbanded in 1988 because it was no longer required, which rather proves the point!
I was thinking that, as the MAA are in the early throes of actively reinventing this particular wheel, the sponsors/committees overseeing the new publications should still be sitting regularly and in a position to consider quickly any comment from front line. Leave it too late and experience shows the reply will be “You’re the only one who has commented, therefore you must be wrong”.
