It's all about money.....
GA drivers avoid IFR & C because Air Services charges exorbitantly.
Conversly, every day our arline drivers are forced to mix it in regional centre CTAFs with GA aircraft of varied levels of equipment, awareness and competence because we are too cheap to have decent regional ATC. No wonder you all have snow white hair! I'd hate to have 150 in the back in an Australian CTAF trying to sort out where each of them are.
What? we have no money to put ATC in a tower when an airliner is due in? Well with the wonderful plan of 50 million by 2050 you'd all better put your fingers in your ears because there might be a big bang soon.
F...ck me, they even do this in India
Here, in Australia INC. EVERY EFFING THING IS ABOUT PROFIT! Even our military is too cheap to have decent ATC.
Here s a message; change the rampant capitalistic model and bring back older values of making our land a d e cent place to live for the people that pay taxes for it. Accidents such as this shouldn't happen in a well run system.
In Australia, CASA and ASA have forced pilots and ATC to hate each other and this shouldn't be the case - we are a team, ATC are not the police.
