As I once said to a member of STN security when positioning to operate on an LGW pass....... rules are for the guidance of wise men......and the obedience of fools! That stumped them for about 30 seconds....after which the expected rejection from the security post was experienced.
I belived that the DfT were supposed to be bringing in a universal ID system for Flight Crew so that details on the pass were stored at all uk airfields using the same gov'nt approved data base??
Or on the other hand you can just go out to Thailand and buy a BAA style airside pass with your photo on and airline logo of your choice!!! Associated press passes are buy one get one free in Koh Samui
