Not a clue what you mean by that. All I'm saying is that if a professional airline (as in Australia for example) chooses to operate into an airport without adequate ARFF I reserve the right to make the decision not to fly to/from that airport. It would be quite simple to indicate on the booking engine that XYZ Airport does not provide the necessary emergency services. What that has to do with passenger democracy votes you will have to explain to me! As for MELs, that, at least for me, is not an issue.
