The UK aviation industry is the pride of Europe and possibly the World with Pilots and Engineers doing a very professional job. CAA and EASA contribute to a very robust and highly regulated industry that has resulted in an extremely high level of safety.
It is very dangerous for an amateur like yourselve to delve into things that you do not understand because inevetably you will get the wrong end of the stick, so I hope that nobody will discuss our industry with you. I also feel that you have a cheek to advertise for information on this forum.
If you want to do our Industry a service do an article on the way Airport security hassles Pilots and Engineers to such an extent that crews can operate in a unfit states of mind, but that is probly not sensational enough for yoi
