I think you're right jxk, but CAA is ultimately a government agency and even the government's hands are tied. The consultation has been done, the laws written and all but implemented. The only way to change things now is through long and arduous lobbying at European level, with any significant change taking years to show as a benefit at our level. Wish I could be more cheerful about it but I think we just have to get on with what we've got and try to make the best of it...
