It has been reported that the opinions of the proposers for these JAA FTL's follow the lines that
"it will be an improvement for those crews who have none or very bad FTL's at present."
I fail to see how improving the lot of some requires a degradation of my present conditions. Surely, we should all aspire "to the best practices". Now there's a buzz word/phrase, as well as 'bench marking' that I remember well from previous employers where they were both conspicuous by their absence.
I doubt anyone has reduced famine in one country by going on a diet at home.
