Swing Wing
I wrote to my MP and all eight of my Eastern Region MEP's upon reading your post yesterday. I have received two replies today - a very unhelpful one from the UKIP slagging off Europe but saying nothing on this issue, and a positive one from the Lid Dem MEP ... to quote.....
" You raise a matter of real concern. I will take up the issue with the Transport Commissioner. Airline safety needs to be a major concern for all of us. "
My whisper, as you suggest, needs reinforcing by others so that it becomes a shout.
