Ok, I have flown around the UK, Fance and Spain, for the past 15 years, and have never been ramp checked. In fact, in France I have found the opposite, that no one gives a toss, they go out of their way to be non plus and - Ah, prive, ce Bon, Monsieur. Done deal.
Now maybe I have been lucky, and maybe one day it will not be as described, but frankly until that day arrives, I attempt to do things right, attempt to the best of my knowledge to keep legal, and attempt to cover my backside.
Any communications I have had with the CAA, confirms my current view. I can understand unease in certain quarters, but until I am faced with the actual situation, then I will remain non plussed.
