George Glass, do you really believe that removing Flight Service and its $40 million cost a year was a bad decision? Who would have paid the $40 million per year since then? Something like $1.12 billion to be paid for by the people with the service available to them – basically general aviation.

In relation to CTAFs, what was wrong with copying the best in the world? Or do you think we should have remained unique in Australia, where each airport was on a Flight Service frequency and CTAFs did not exist?
