Negatives are that it's concessionary in critical areas. T pointed out one. The other is a re-warmed version of "1.5>80", which has been debated ad nauseum, and is a pretty obvious way of steering money from the average pilot, to the flight-ho's.
Who authored it, anyway?
There are still a lot of guys flying to 100 per month because they have not taken the time to understand far 117. The problem is they shoot themselves in the foot, not that they take away time from the average pilot. In fact they keep reserves from flying. The flight ho's are the reason I have gotten a greenslip every month I've asked for one this year. I think this month I'll get two.
