Well I am a Euro-sceptic, seeing that being in Europe will protect Workers etc, why oh why are the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) being forced into introducing European Flight Time Limitations (FTL's). These are seen by many in the Airline industry as being less stringent than the UK ones, which work very well. The CAA have given the data from their SAFE program showing that under European FTL's Pilots are more fatigued and can put lives at risk.
In particular, the proposed EU rules could see pilots so tired that they have the equivalent performance detriment of being Four times over the legal alcohol limit.
far from this being the Airline Pilots Union (BALPA), these figures are derived from the CAA's and Qinetiq's findings. So they are not just some Union rhetoric.
Still as Garinda has pointed out, you are not really interested in the views of your constituents, after all you are now a MP and above the rest of us.
As I said earlier, you eat out of the same trough as the rest, at least Greg Pope stood by his convictions.
