I don't think that's the answer...
This issue is far more serious.
Apart from the court action I mentioned, I'm all with
Mr Scoop....
A major effort in the media: "Eurocrats condemn airline passengers to burn to death to 'protect' the environment", maybe?
llondel suggested "...they could be invited to a suitable airfield with a practice fuselage and invited to control a fire from inside the aircraft (simulating problems at altitude), first with a halon system, and then with the proposed alternative."
All for it, it would make great TV.
Then make sure that the actual court case, as the first manifestation of "common sense against euro-mania" gets full publicity as well.
And what about a little flyer in each safety instruction booklet in the aircraft?
"This aircraft is protected by Halon fire extinguishing systems. Unless YOU act, Eurocrats will soon be removing that protection".
Follows a brief description, and a protest to fill out. Make it easy to fold, and make it Freepost.
