What is called "a disadvantage" for operators in a recent post is perhaps "a decent crew rest" for pilots...
Actualy there is movement in the part Q area. JAA meetings have started again on the subject. Are we surprised to discover that human performance and limitations are not what is beeing discussed but rather how to allow operators in Greece, for example, to fly to the US east coast with a standard crew of two in order not to be "disadvantaged" compared with the operators in Ireland...
Of course the duty time is "slightly" longer but the EU idea is about profit, not human performance is it ?
