The subject was raised at BHAB on the 26/2.
Two pilots have managed a chat with their MP's (Cameron and Lembic) and they have been told that the matter will be taken fwd for discussion at one of their party meetings.
One pilot has informed the CAA that he intends to turn up for work after his 60th birthday (imminent) and it is up to the CAA to remove him from post??
Lord Glenarthur is chairing a deputisation to the DTI.
The BHAB chairman is talking to a rep from the parliamentary aviation committee.
Lots of activity on our behalf and sincere thanks to all for their strenuous efforts.
The message is though: write to your MP. They are duty bound to respond within a certain time frame. It is only with this added impetus that we can keep the ball rolling.
For the armchair supporters out there, I have summarised the entire issue in lay speak so that the MP can get his/her head around what we are on about.
Add this master reference to your own personal short, polite ( covering letter AND POST IT TO YOUR MP....please?
What have you got to lose?
many thanks.
Here is the master reference:
