Thank you for your comments. I hope I did not give the impression that I support the current FTL. I don’t - I was just trying to state why I thought it was going to be hard to get them changed.
Regarding bosses manipulating things for their own advantage I am afraid that is not limited to the airline industry and has more to do with human nature than aeroplanes. Some people are spectacularly good at it - remember the odd bank boss?
