Complete rubbish. Like the military flyers such as Jim Schofield I preferred FS.

If the experts could have worked out a way that we could have run the whole system with FS that’s what I would have supported.

It was not possible and I reckon you know it!

I particularly remember whenever I landed at Dubbo after I became Chairman the FS blokes would get the local newspaper journalists to meet me and ask if the staff were going to keep their jobs.

And it must have been 27 years ago when my Board supported the decision to go to the US 12,500’ cruising level without oxygen. Imagine the staggering amount of fuel that GA could have saved by then if that had gone ahead.
