CO2 Cylinders
Rampdog,
As per my original post I always declare CO2 to check in staff (there not being any way to do a full on-line check in for the international flights I usually take for work). When travelling domestically (when carrying CO2) I don't bother checking in on-line as when asked the DG question it wont let you complete the check-in, so it all gets done at the airport. The first time this happened (mid 2013) the check-in staff couldn't find the info in her IATA Quick Guide - even after giving her the Table reference - because she was still using a 2012 DG Guide ! (Oops !) A quick call to POCO / Ops and I was on my way.
Like a good many of us here, we are well versed with the various regulatory requirements, and what the intent of those requirements are. But I agree, there is a lot that comes down to the adequate training of the staff involved, as to what the intended outcome of the requirements are........
