British Aiways has to apply every six months to renew the application to wet lease a US registered aircraft. If the CAA receive enough objections the application will have to be rejected, the gap created in the market will leave another UK/Euro B747-400/200 freighter operator to bid for the contract. This will in turn create more work for UK/JAR Pilots and engineers.
If enough support is generated, the BA/Atlas application which is due to be renewed by the 31st Mar 2006 will be revoked. Can you imagine an UK reg aircraft operating in the USA. It just would not happen because the Americans would not allow it to happen (Period). Therefore if you want to safe guard UK/Euro jobs, then in your own words lodge your objection to (however short and sweet) to Mr Trevor Metson at the CAA by Email:
