Nice bit of editing Gaylord.
The quote was not mine but from the Head of IATA.

Sorry who are you?
I was asking an industry insider for his opinion on a report from an international airline association.

Someone who knows a similar amount about the travel industry as you.

Yes but not the quote.

Probably true as regards the aviation industry.
Hence I quoted from the Head of an International Aviation Authority and asked an industry expert on the forum for his view.
I was not expressing my opinion or claiming any special expertise.
Clear enough for you?

Not sure about the point you're making.
She may know a lot about the travel industry.

No need to get your Alan Whickers in twist, Leonard.

Hello mate. How's tricks?
Have you heard of IATA (International Air Transport Association)?
Well their Director General has stated that no deal Brexit could lead to "thousands,millions of passengers" potentially grounded at airports if there is no deal when the UK leaves the EU on 29 March 2019.
He also said that "If nothing is done it will be a nightmare in European and UK airports".
Apparently the EU and the UK's CAA have plans for only a "bare bones" agreement to ensure a basic level of service.
What's all that about?

I know exactly what IATA is. Weirdly enough they're rather well known. And yes, if everyone sits on their hands doing nothing, then there could be an issue. Good job people haven't been isn't it?

No, there isn't just a bare bones agreement in place. And coincidentally enough, I was talking about this at the weekend with a mate of mine who is their former chief aviation economist, and is now head of aviation projects at a major consultancy. We were actually laughing at the way idiots fall for people wanting to make headlines, and oh look, there we are.

I'd put you in touch with him for a chat, but you wouldn't believe a word he says anyway, because he isn't chicken licken, and he did specifically say how little time he's got for strange people desperate for a crisis.

I could go into more detail, but there's little point. But I tell you what, I'm quite happy to have a bet with you on the whole subject. Up for that?

She does actually. She was pretty good - more than just a presenter, she took an interest.
