Hooplaa,

Action in what regard? To increase the UK vortex separation behind a 757?

How would any authority know such an issue exists unless it's reported? I've never heard of an ATCO filing on a crew wanting to wait two minutes behind a 757.

Of course, then all the UK airlines who are happy to go one minute behind a 757 get penalised.

I'm happy with the current arrangement. I remember a section somewhere in the MATS pt.1 regarding occasions where separation will be increased, and one of the bullet points mentions 'at the request of the pilot'
