Skipness - might I gently point out that you are posting on a forum that is read by people who are mainly pro-aviation rather than anti - i.e. preaching largely to the semi-converted if not converted.
You seem pretty clued up and passionate on the issue - could I suggest getting out into the wider world, and doing some lobbying, or at least talking to professional lobbyists ?
It's not meant as a s*d off message - it's a genuine "plenty of journalists and opinion makers out there are making it up as they go along, we need people like you to explain the issues clearly to them...."
