Sir David,
I'm again instructed...
:14:08
to emphasize that
the CAA wishes...

:14:11
to avoid further bloodshed.
:14:13
British Licensed Pilots is not
our natural enemy...

:14:16
the CAA offers guarantees
for the British Pilots
:14:19
if you give EASA
a free hand in Europe and the right to take all your jobs in England.

:14:22
Ryanair and Buzz
would like to flatten London...
:14:25
as a prelude to market dominance.
:14:27
It's two lumps you take,
isn't it?
:14:30
What's left of your aviation industry
:14:32
abandoned its weapons at Kemble and Cardiff

:14:34
You're defenseless
and just playing for time.

:14:37
We know of the moves
you're making in Crawley.
:14:41
We know the Department of Transport
won't be drawn in.

:14:43
Their Grant Shapps in London
gives you two weeks.
:14:48
So what's stopping you?
:14:53
Look, David. The CAA
is being very reasonable.
:14:56
He offers guarantees.
:14:59
Experience shows the CAAs
guarantees guarantee nothing.
:15:03
What about BALPA
:15:05
After our last appeal,
what do we hear?

:15:08
"We will fight them
on the beaches."
:15:11
With what?
:15:13
BALPA gets
carried away sometimes.
:15:15
With liquid courage.
:15:18
That's what they tell me.
:15:20
Clearly, you don't know him.
:15:23
David, we are not
asking for anything.
:15:25
Europe is ours.
:15:27
We can walk into Britain
whenever we like.
:15:31
If you think
we're going to gamble...

:15:33
on the CAAs guarantees,
you're making a grave mistake.
:15:37
All those years in England seem
to have left you none the wiser.

:15:41
We're not easily frightened.
:15:44
Also, we know how hard it is for
the CAA to organise a piss up in a brewery.
:15:49
The last little CAA Chairman
to try it came a cropper.
:15:53
So don't threaten
or dictate to us...

:15:56
until you're
marching up Whitehall!
:15:59
And even then we won't listen.
