Hey SGC,
Where you been hiding, EASA been here since 2003 !!!!!!!!! not exactly coming but I agree the way they do things does take along time !
Just because it is the regulatory authority, doen't mean we have to like it.

EASA may have been in existence since 2003 but it has not yet assumed responsibility for flight crew licensing or operations and will not do so until 2012. In that respect Sir George is quite correct - it's coming.
When it does arrive on the Licensing and Ops scene, it will not be a regulatory authority, that task remains with the NAAs. EASA is and will continue to be a rulemaking body, which means that it will always be insulated from from the real world and can continue to invent ways to harm the industry (for no good safety-based reason) without the embarrassment of having to enforce its own, politically driven, rules.

Hey BB,
Not to be picky, but you said it, EASA has not hit ops and flight crew licensing, what about the rest of the industry, like the guys who keep you in the air (engineers)
Therefore EASA has been here since 2003, only because its not affected the Air ops doesn't mean its not affecting you, AD's are issued by EASA which can affect your aircraft, this I believe can affect Operations ???????, indirectly.
If you are going to pick on a generalisation, at least look at the whole picture and not just ops/aircrew, I know this is pprune, but it is not solely for pilots !
Best Regards

I never suggested that we were unaffected by EASA, simply that, in the one respect of Ops and Licensing, Sir George was correct.
As for being picky,
No, NAAs regulate in accordance with EU law, which is formulated as a result of EASA's rulemaking activities.

Hey BB,
All I can say is, for being in the industry that has been affected by EASA since 2003, it has been no picnic and therefore I can understand why people are on here, bleeting about EASA and I agree with them. Only because it is in/coming doesn't mean we have to like it, at least we can air off some anger on here whilst dealing with it.
