Jennie,
I am sorry. But I know that privately we agree on a number of subjects, but this one just seems to be a bit beyond belief.
I know there are some shortcomings at QR, but surely this simple issue could not have been oversighted.
If your comments are true, then I do fear for the innocent crew who may be stopped downroute by some "jobsworth" and ask to see their papers. You specifically mentioned LHR? Why?
May I ask you to (privately if you wish) reveal the source of your information so that I can check this out.
And, how do you know that IATA are in the region? Of course they are in the region. They are ALWAYS here and have people based here (regionally).
Thanks.
