betpump5: good post and none of us see the profits that our companys earn from carrying said passengers around at 0 dark Oclock.*

At my company they have just told us that we don't need to record our LVP approaches any more, and this ties in with a suggestion I made some time ago, which was to record our raw data hand flown approaches instead - we could be required to show evidence of say at least three of them every 6 months.

These approaches would be done from an intercept heading and platform all the way to the landing, (obviously only in appropriate weather).

* It could be argued that the LoCos were created to exploit the previously untapped market of exactly those sort of people, but the trouble is that EVERYONE now wants to fly for virtually nothing AND still they expect the service of the 70's
