Some "interesting" numbers at page 48 regarding the staff costs

Do we know if this is the final version?

When is Sub Part Q going to be frozen?

[PPRuNe Towers]

There's an early March deadline for submissions to answer/rebut/modify 14 questions EASA consider remaining open for debate and change. You'll find them in the early part of the December 2010 document inked above.

With them supposedly resolved it's freeze time for final draft and then into law for April 2012 kick off.

That's the theory anyway

Up until now the UK CAA have continued using CAP371 because it not only meets but exceeds Subpart Q requirements.

Does anyone know whether they are going to be able to opt out of the new requirements?

Not this time although it's anything from a done deal. Most G reg carriers will have industrial agreements inside EASA FTL is my personal view.
The only thing i'm looking forward to is no limits on consecutive early / lates / nights and the factorisation tables on ETOPS.

Don't rely on it Angry, check. My own outfit are insisting on retaining reference to words to effect of "any approved ftl scheme in force under its jurisdiction" in our scheduling agreement, meaning when/if the rules change to allow for example proposals such as 40% longer days and min rest reduced to 7.5 hrs, we have to do it, and it won't cost them a penny.

any airlines agreement will only last until either the next pay deal, or the next time the economy dips 0.01%. so I wouldn't get overly comfy , angry
