Ryanair have large numbers of Brookfield pilots. Some that are floating and others that are sometimes posted off to other bases for the week. Correct me if wrong, but my understaning is that you cannot get a pass unless STN is your base and even if you have one it has to be swiped every so often to stay valid. Therefore they could no longer roster crew to fly from there. Adds up to plenty of delayed a/c ? If FR account for the majority of flights out of STN surley they would apply commercial and or legal pressure to facilitate a change of heart.... but then again.... BAA, CAA & DFT lost the plot on this security lark awhile back!
I can overfly London, land there but cannot get through the door to buy a coffee... yup lunatics... plain and simple
