A few test flights didn't have any "detectable" problems, so they want the restrictions lifted? But if a jet then finds a strata of denser ash and has to make an emergency landing, or crashes, they'll be screaming "It's not our fault, the government said it was safe to fly!"
No one has ever died in an airliner crash from volcanic ash ingestion on turbofan engines of a jet liner even during the well published history of the KLM and BA jets that have effectively flown directly through the volcanic ash plume directly above an active volcano. I am currently directly under the invisible undetectable ash cloud right now and there is no ash fallout despite the propaganda and news media reports (Grampian local TV news usually can only report news stories about fish and football, of course they are going to cream themselves if they thought they could report volcanic ash falling out of the sky in the Shetland islands and making it to US news channel like CNN, Fox etc). Even the news media volcanic ash 'sunset' photos are bogus and just check out the the bottom photo on this link.

The test flights would have been through the darkest light pinkish brown smudges on the satellite photo, i.e. the worse case scenerio. Nothing happened to the test flights.
