It has been said, as Mr. Cullen noted, that primary legislation is not the place for IALPA's amendments. If they are not included in primary legislation, how can we meet the needs of pilots, that is, the people who sit in the cockpit with 300 or 400 lives sitting behind them? I cannot emphasise enough the importance of the peer support group, which absolutely must be independent of every employer. I appreciate the point IALPA is making with its amendments, but can they be made by statutory instrument, for example, or in some other way?
