I have to agree with Silvaire. It's one of the most annoying jobsworth things in the UK. I can think of no better way to drive people away. Last time I was chided by snotty A/G at Goodwood for not having it even though it's not even required, only recommended! It's like they get mad at you for not giving them a 5hr heads up from their tea drinking feast and actually have to work. It's most unwelcoming.
It's all fine if the entire GA scene consists of bacon sarnie flying sunday trippers going from A to B only, but if you want to be professional, be accessible and cater to all then this abomination has to go. Can you imagine if I asked my clients to give me a yearly breakdown of how many times they will hire me and during which exact dates? It'd be out of the business within 3 seconds if I demanded that.
The plane is the customer, it's not the other way around. Now, for a private field this is obviously different - then it is what it is and I accept that. But for Bournemouth? You have to be kidding.
