The fact of the matter is that the representative organisations are invited to EASA and the Belgrano, our opinions canvassed and our representations taken into account. That is a process taking place all the time. The upshot is better regulation based on rational discussion.

At the beginning of the Olympics process, when the Spooks were telling us that whatever we said they would do what they wanted, I started a process towards Judicial Review. DfT (particularly in the form of Theresa Villiers) and CAA jumped in, pushed back against the HO and won the day. Now the discussion is rational.

So we can all make up our own minds. If you think that legal action or the threat of legal action will have a beneficial effect, have a go. When the HO thought that they could get away with draconian force, we had to look to the judiciary. But my view is that while the other side are willing to talk, and CAA and EASA are very open to talk about IR, EIR and IMCR, the best thing to do is to talk.
