Firstly, very impressive flying, those pilots know exactly what they are doing, in tune with their machine.
I think the EU don't really have a clue what they are doing. Another of their follies is banning lead in solder, which will increase the failure rate of almost all electronic assemblies, the lead being ductile tends to stretch when things get hot so it absorbs any differential movement. The replacements are not very good at absorbing movement due to heating (hello Xbox owners, sounds familiar ?), they tend to use silver a lot, and silver mining is definately very bad for the environment.
So the EU wants to ensure all activities are carried out by people that are fit and fully competetant for the job. Fine lets start with them. All MEP's that want to have any say on anything chemical must be fully qualified (to degree or doctorate level ) in Chemistry. Anyone that wants to have any say on anything Physical must be fully qualified (to degree or doctorate level ) in Physics. Anyone who wants to have any say on anything Financial must be fully qualified (to degree or doctorate level ) in Accountancy. Etc
That about rules out the lot of them, no one really knows what they are talking about, yet they can make rules that change the way things work.
We need people in the EU who actually know what they are talking about.
