Anyone can create an e-petition on the direct.gov.uk website. However this was done for the EU FTL campaign and despite getting tens of thousands of signatures did not reach the magic 100,000 required for a commons debate.

It won't make a shred of difference either way though. I've long thought it is completely ridiculous that the CAA is entirely funded by those it exists to regulate. How this cannot be a conflict of interest is anyone's guess, but as long as it is the case they are unlikely to take decisions which could be viewed as anti-business (namely anything that is likely to increase labour costs for airlines). The only thing likely to change that is the smoking hole, which if you remember is exactly what it took in the USA.

Nevertheless I admire the sentiment and I'd sure as hell sign it.
