The CAP 371 alignment change is a bait and switch. The GCAA is trying to show they are compliant with UK CAA standards and in line with their thinking while they slid this gem under the table.
Who in the UK or Europe is going to complain when the ME3 have their names plastered on everything or in certain cases buy into European airlines?
Hopefully the Aussie, US and Canadian regulatory authorities will take note as this will effect flying in their airspace.
Does this go on at any other place in the world??
