Christ, some people just don't know when to shut up. About all you can achieve by constantly bugging an airline, or going public with some half-arsed vendetta, is alert them AND OTHER AIRLINES to the issue, and ensure that every one of them makes explicit changes to their policy banning the transport of paintball markers.

Don't think the airlines are that bothered, and that they won't go to the effort of changing their written policy? In that case make sure one of the red-tops picks up on it, portrays us as the dangerous fringe of society, and makes it a public issue. Then the airlines will be falling over themselves to publicise how they're improving security for all by preventing crazed lunatics from taking weapons onto aircraft.

Sure, rant about it on here all you like, but for everyone's sake, please understand that Joe Public will get the wrong end of the stick every time, so SHUT THE HELL UP.

Agghhhhhhh ffs!! :mad: :mad:

Can everyone PLEASE stop ringing Ryanair, this problem was caused not by people asking for help/Advice from Ryanair, but people wanting to stir things up, otherwise people wouldnt of phoned Ryanair every other day for a week or so a few weeks back, this has then ment that they now know people are coming with marker and they will know to check us players playing (including myself).

So on behalf of myself and no dowt the rest of DV8 wh are going to Spain can NO ONE cause any more problems for those that havent caused them :mad: :mad:

Ok, people have made mistakes. Hopefully everyone has just about got the message now NOT to go contacting airlines asking if they can take guns on their planes in the form of sports equipment.

But, looking back over this thread...guys you say you have lots of experience, great - pass it in nicely, stop bitching at others for doing what they felt was right, there are alot of teams out there travelling for the first time - and lets face it - paintballers do seems to talk a load of sh*te on the best of days - why take our word for it?

And the whole argument of I've been travelling for years with my paintball gear doesn't really stand anywhere anymore - be realitic! I mean 3 years ago shock horror you could even carry nail clippers in the cabin with you!
