I can see that there may be some issues with the timing of the Parliament's vote. However, all business which has been scheduled for next week will be affected. It is not a conspiracy against pilots.
The EC is well aware of the parliament timetable and the timing of when it went to the committee and therefore the probability of a subsequent vote. These dates are not accidental. Conspiracy is a loaded word - more like trying to get legislation approved rapidly by whatever means possible; all legislation is mishandled in this way to avoid having MEPs interfere with the running of the EU by the EC.
