I'll let you know if I get a reply to that address...
I did get a reply from the gentleman above. He said:
"I appreciate the issues you raise and at this point can only really say that we are working hard here, along with representatives from industry and the TUs, to see how the measures can be changed in the light of operational experience and the prevailing threat.
I cannot say anything this morning that is going to give an immediate fix or, I'm afraid, give you the answer you are looking for as operational crew. But I can say that a lot of folk are working very hard here to resolve this situation.
Please do continue to give your specfic feedback on the operational impact to your company security people and / or BALPA with whom we are dealing. If they feel they are not in contact with us, then please ask them to email me directly.
Thanks again for making contact."
Can't say fairer than that really and respect to the gentleman for responding to my fairly strongly worded email...
