Jim Fitzpatrick doesn't seem to have much power to do anything.
The air traffic controllers (NATS) that propose air space changes are part owned by BAA, BMI and all the rest so they aren't looking out for us are they? The CAA (organisation regulating changes to air traffic)only ever hear from these guys as no one else is party to all the information they need to fight these things.
We need independant, government funded representatives to protect the interests of the public on these issues and have equal power alongside the CAA to reject or accept air space changes.
The airlines have far too much power - and it affects a huge % of the population. I would vote for anyone prepared to cut them down to size!
