I am unaware of the pressure brought to bear, but I think that we should be self policing. An International Company I worked for at LHR did an in house licence for weight and balance, and took seriously the operations. Training was in depth, as was Despatching. If a common goal/standard could be agreed, it should be easy to keep in house.I personally feel it is better in house than ran by some gvmt body.
