Corona virus and its effects on GLA

As loopholes go, you could drive a bus through this one. (Or fly an ATR).

Yes the SG are going to block this known loophole one way or another, either with the rest of the UK kicking and screaming or unilaterally.

Or a 787! That’s why those already in situ and well versed in CTA, domestic, international should be used. After all it’s what we are trained in and forms part of training before gaining an airport pass.

I couldn’t believe that non airport security staff were to be used and the fact they couldn’t obtain a proper security pass due to insufficient time being given. Ergo escort pass required leading to additional staff.

It’s really high time those in control and setting the benchmarks displayed a modicum of understanding requirements, worked in conjunction with the subject matter experts and worked together for the best result.

All we now have is another mess, egg on face and looking totally lacking in judgement. But then, that’s what an awful lot of this mess is!

Or in other words the known loophole of being able to arrive in the common travel area (British isles) to dodge Scottish quarantine requirements. Not for long. If Johnson won’t do the right thing, we will.

I refer you back to the time when after the MODERATORS SUMMITT, " No Political posts unless in Political section".
Youre not an MSP or a member of the Holyrood Council.
"We" will.
Political section please.

I just meant “we” as Scotland. Thanks anyway.

No need to worry sunflyer. There will be damn all left in aviation by the time this administration has finished its job. I’d dearly love to know exactly where and when our beloved elected representatives do actually spend their holidays! Rockall?

I think you will find that this year's destination of choice will be Feckall.

And as an aside, I took a stroll up Paisley High Street today and noted that the Hays Travel Agency that had taken over the Thomas Cook shop last year was closed down and all Hays branding removed. Possibly retail's biggest ever case of bad timing.

They don’t have any holidays during this public health emergency and if they had a day off it would be spent at home.

By your derisory tone aimed at our government do we assume you think international travel should be available as normal at this time? You’ll be the only person in Scotland if you do.

my wife and i have stuck to the guidelines rigidly up till now but if i'm told it will be 2022 before we can have a holiday in the sun i wont be happy.surely the vaccine rollout is going to kick in soon regarding new cases and deaths.last year from july i think cases fell away and we had a while with no deaths,surely the vaccine will stop a surge in cases if we can all go on holiday late summer or autumn.like someone said there will soon be no airlines to use.jet2 just had to raise over 400m to stay afloat.many others will have done the same.
