A battle won but a war still to be fought

Captaintcas has got it spot on: "The battle might be won, but the war is far from over boys."
On BBC Question Time on Friday night, it was clear the UK MPs have little idea how excessive flight duty time limits affect air safety. the EU MEPs on the committee have taken a vital step, but it is just one more step. We now need to get EASA to stop buckling under the commercial pressures from airline owners. EASA Must use scientific data to build on the limits already well established and improve on them not relax them and wind the clocks back to limits used 50 years ago.
