Fair enough AK, but since when did an individual asking a politician a question constitute a "political pressure group"?
If you are concerned about something you can always try talking to a politician (of any allegiance) about it when the opportunity arises (this being a golden one), or like others you can be content to sit and moan on PPRuNE about it without actually trying to do anything about it...
Just a thought, that's all... what with all that is going on with EASA that everybody seems unhappy about, perhaps this is a golden opportunity to make our concerns heard... in a democracy if you don't bother say anything then nobody will listen because there is nothing to listen to...
