Does anyone actually know a dollar amount for how much the regulatory reform program has cost so far?
SP.
It is not just the cost of the program itself, bad though that is, but the horrifying costs of compliance with the "new" rules, that have no counterpart anywhere, and imposed restrictions that have largely rendered Australian aviation a non-starter where we once had export markets in the field.
There is a reason why QANTAS' huge new maintenance investment is in Los Angeles, to employ US A&Ps, under FAA rules, to maintain QF longhaul aircraft.
Tootle pip!!
