The industry requires checks to maintain safety, and these checks have been delegated, to the operator. The regulatory bodies should be pursuing the bad guys, but as usual they are toothless when it comes to this aspect of their remit, so they can only keep burdening the good guys with more and more bureaucracy, it justifies their pyramidical existence and increasing cost.

We should be asking the Authority what they are actually doing to reign back this trade, and how successful are they?

Flights are being undertaken with aircraft overweight, carrying dangerous goods, disregard to aircraft performance and flight time limitations.
