We are entitled to speak so let us not rush things here. The bottom line on it is that pilots will speak to pilots. They will also speak to their engineers and air traffic controllers because those are the three groups that work together and they need their own forum. I welcome the notion that there would be a minimum of two meetings per year because I accept what the Minister of State is saying in that there may be times when you would want to have several meetings when various issues come up. However, I cannot accept that we would go for this wide group. The discrete group of licenceholders is what is required and that is what I will be looking for.
