I'll ignore your rather silly comments on my knowledge of such matters.
As far as CAP 700 is concerned it's often the appropriate application of the requirements in relation to the current size and scope of operations that's equally important - ring any bells?
I totally agree that watching an A319 backtrack from Alpha for a 06 departure made me wince the other day but ATR operations didn't suffer from that restriction last time I was there, so only around 50% of ops are so affected. If you had read what I said you would note that this problem is acknowledged and remedial action should shortly take place I believe.
I have no reason to doubt the competence of the current SEN management team, although I would agree that the direction from the top could sometimes be more reality focused.
Anyway, let's not get into a row over this at this time of year and agree to differ.
