more responses to indy referendum question

391. What will replace the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA)?
 this is a daft question, but i will address it not the less.


The CAA directly or indirectly regulates all aspects of aviation in the UK. In some aspects of aviation it is the primary regulator, in other areas, where the responsibility for regulation has passed to the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the CAA acts as EASA's local office, implementing the regulations. Representatives from the CAA sit on EASA's advisory bodies, taking part in the Europe-wide regulation process.

The UK Government requires that the CAA’s costs are met entirely from its charges on those whom it regulates. Unlike many other countries, there is no direct Government funding of the CAA’s work. It is classed as a public corporation, established by statute, in the public sector. The connection it has with the government is via the Machinery of Government and Standards Group of the Cabinet Office ( wicipedia)
Now given the issues surrounding the problems we are already aware of concerning air traffic and exstention plan & proposals for new runways at Heathrow and and the pretext that theses airports are imperative because buisness is so good! and the fact that Scotlands airport's also serve & assist in the maintaining of traffic flow around the uk and Europe, for visitors on buisness and vacation journeys it is incomprehensible to think that all concerned including hotheads in Westminster s  government are going to jeopardize good buisness sense by getting stupid with negotiators in this area. It would not be in the best interest of the English economy which is served by many scottish businesses with people using scottish airports for convenience and then traveling onward and using other transport means ie trains for both comercial & vacational tourist purposes all which benefit not only the future scottish nations economy , but commercially the English and European economies .... 
NOW, moving on... having covered these issues thus far answering the points raised by douglas @ newgreenmes blogg, I am tiring of some of the ridiculous scaremongering questions he raises.
Suffice to say issues regarding knowledge and skills base have already been addressed and I think I have gone some way to address more sensibly the issues, than thinking up questions and answering them with Mix - Transition Negotiation Question + Scaremongering as the response to the questions which doesn't really address the issues as douglas's blogg entry, a point I make merely to reflect that if your gonna make a list of stupid scaremongering questions on your blogg then at least address the issues with some kind of explanation to help people consider the argument , sorry but his blogg doesn't do that and as such does not elevate any concerns of those who are trying to make a ballanced judgment on the Independence question.
My responses are only my own opinions in relation to the scaremongering issues and I shall come back to this later and answer some more at my leisure, although I had said in my comment on his blogg I would try to do so in a week, I never realized so many of the points raised were just repetitions of the same issues but in different sectors.but all of them raised appear so far to cover the same thing basic fundamental questions which although yes, are subject to negotiation after Independence is achieved , he , as I said, hasn't given any hint of a sensible argument that covers the various areas .
I hope here I have done this in some way on what i have addressed thus far, and I will come back to it here on my own blogg at my leisure but wont be returning to add further answers that he appears to have been to lazy to fully address on his by merely saying Mix - Transition Negotiation Question + Scaremongering which frankly in my opinion does not suffice and is just political wannabe politician avoidance speak. or maybe he just hasn't take the time to think it through himself or didn't know the answers or take time to do some research.
