The UK CPL/ATPL had the photo removed post the Immigration Act (reform) of 1991 I believe which withdrew the license as a document of entry to the UK prior to that time crew could use it in lieu of a passport at UK immigration control

I think it's safe to assume the UK CAA will be charging somewhat more than that. Adding two zeros would put you in the right ballpark I suspect.

One question, out of the blue.

How many terrorists or terrorist suspects have been arrested in the USA after this massive TSA operation, fingerprinting and PAX/crew screening started?


Answer: Not a single one! (apart from Ted Kennedy)

Trouble is that the security twits (at all levels) will argue that it demonstrates the effectiveness of their 'enhanced' 'security' process ie "Terrorists aren't travelling because of the enhanced security process". :rolleyes:
