Cargo Rat,
Thanks for the info but how do they bring out anything urgent between issues?
As 737SS the FAA are responsible for CFR compliance but then ( as in my case) they only notified the airlines. I guess the FAA have no way of even knowing who freight forwarders are.
Again in my case the IATA refeernce and paperwork were correct for the IATA manual in force that day. I even got a copy of the dangerous goods form that the Captain signed.
The reason that the FEDS did not nail us ( the agent that is) was that legally they did have their act together.
From what you are saying CargoRat nothing has really changed and there doesnt really seem to be leakproof( pardon the pun!) system.
