Xeptu, if ‘safety “is” the first priority’, why has CASA decided that the tower at Wagga does not have to be manned by air traffic controllers? Surely if safety was the first priority the tower would be manned. I bet the only reason it isn’t manned is that cost in this situation is the first priority. That is, the cost would affect the viability of operations at Wagga.
What do you think?
