If the scheme saves a single life then it's all good IMHO. Out of interest does anyone have any evidence.. firm or anecdotal of people taking the p1ss and claiming free landings?
I've taken advantage of the free diversion once flying from Bbushe to Shoreham we came accross a layer of thick and low cloud so we returned to Blackbushe and got the 2nd once free. It's a system I won't abuse, and this is from a commuter who hasn't bought a train ticket for five years
