Discussion on this has already started at the back end of the "Frustated pilots and security thread".
To add my twopence worth (again)..if the Minister feels security has not been compromised because Ramp staff are screened to the same standard as pax then using the same logic lets drop the whole CRC process for UK resident airline employees.
Secondly there a h**k of a lot of non-UK residents flying as crewmembers onboard UK registered aircraft. How do the politicians think they are going to "solve" the problem of Criminal record checks across national boundaries?
Finally - where have the likes of Shoey and the other Journo's been? This glitch in the whole UK CRC process has been known about, and grumbled about, since it's inception years ago.
