Captain Evan Cullen:

We very much welcome the Deputy's proposal. It is important to note that with the three issues we have outlined, there will be limited, if not zero, impact on Irish airlines. We have members in all of the airlines in Ireland. Night duties are not a feature for the Irish aviation scene. Even the transatlantic operation is not affected by these proposals. While everyone is talking about safety, he or she will keep an eye on the competitive advantage the proposals can give. We would welcome a clearer statement from the IAA on where it stands in this process. Reading the committee transcripts, its proposals and replies were unclear to us.
