The article is clearly a piece of tabloid trash but
may have highlighted a policy of
TQHF regarding the requirements of their contractors in that the crews of aircraft supplied to the Royal Household must be ex-military. Whether this is so and whether this policy is new, I do not know.
In practical terms all this will mean is that Starspeed's civvie drivers won't be allowed in the front bit of
G-BYOM while on Royal charters.
If the BHA's Peter Norton
is to be believed then the Barnes crash may serve at a catalyst for reviews to the safety and quality procedures relating to (especially) freelance charter pilots but, with regard to TQHF one supposes they already have a system for auditing potential contractors and which includes suitable vetting of their crews and overall procedures as well as their safety and quality management systems.
