I would be surprised if Kemble's operator felt that GA is more trouble than it's worth. It is, after all, a solely GA field. Unless there is an ulterior motive for the change of course.
Having jumped through the hoops and over the hurdles to obtain the PPL, I suspect that most of us are reasonably well qualified to make an assessment as to when, and to what extent, hi-viz is required. By all means recommend, but compulsion is unnecessary. It displays an ill-mannered, and growing, tendency towards fascism.
IMHO The management should let all those who refuse to wear outlandishly garish clothing suffer the consequences of their foolishishness. I know that I am happy to do that.
