Not much for a Scottish CAA to regulate then? If the cost of running an 'independent' CAA has to be borne by so little business it could very easily strangle the finances of that business.
And only Loganair and BMIR (now going back to 'Midland' it appears from the call-sign changes, what 'Midland'???!) as 'significant' airlines there as all the 'big boys' have their headquarters safely south of the border.
All very small-minded. Why not have a big-minded attitude to air transport involvement and scrap all this stupid 'independence' farce?
