    Thanks for the contact details.
    So basically they have decided not to carry non-fac airguns? That's their prerogative. They could insist that anyone flying with them has to wear a mankini if they so wanted - suck it up and move on I'm afraid.

    No they haven't. They are perfectly happy to carry them, as specified in their terms and conditions. They however want official documentation to support their ownership.

    Like a Scottish Airgun Licence, for example?

    .... and "we" don't want licensing and HMG says we can't have an EFP unless we have a licence, and they won't put sub12s on ticket anyway. It's all a bit circular.

    I've heard of catch 22, maybe this is also catch 177.

    Or we could just stand up for ourselves for a change.

    Perhaps all shooters could boycott sleazy jet....or as I said, see if could be brought round to some positive PR. They are supposed to be easy jet, not "bloody awkward discriminatory jet" Maybe see what other airlines do?

    I am sitting here watching a feature about a local trap shooter going to the CGs, 2 in 24hrs.

    Never been a better time folks
