I can't race the original quote, but a few years back FR did clearly state that they deliberately restricted the forms of proof of identity they would accept so as not to confuse their staff. I think this arose as an issue because the press had got hold of the fact that they had refused to accept a UK serviceman's forces ID card on a UK domestic flight. A clear case of them putting their staff's (limited by FR's definition?) ability before passenger convenience or even common sense. Or is it a revenue earner from refused boardings due to unacceptable ID being produced?
Someone needs to forcibly tell MOL that here in the UK we do not need passports to travel domestically within our country and I'm surprised that Liberty or N2ID or another similar pressure group hasn't challenged them in court.
My bottom line: FR are a bunch of **** and I would only demean my self to fly with them as a very last resort. They do not deserve patronage.
