I said in my response that you should speak to the compliance officer prior to travel and get a letter and or email from them confirming the companies policy and directing staff on procedure or to contact the compliance team if unsure. Their response said this was not done.
I would suggest that maybe the airlines reaction may have been if this had been done.
Maybe BASC and the other associations should get to know who the compliance people are within airlines and get them to disseminate the information the front line staff need to know and cannot be reasonably expected to know.
My own experience was a senior customs officer explaining to a new member of staff that my rifle was clearly an air rifle because its got one of those (pointing to the moderator). So ignorance is rife and a central point of reference for an airline such as a well briefed compliance officer is not a bad thing IMHO.
I gave him the benefit of my experience in understanding what an air rifle was.
In a battle of wits I refuse to engage with an unarmed person.
