Good to see a mention of CAR 206, Neville. Thats the reg supposed to be changed 30 years ago , and in the passing decades always just "talk" about removing it because it is 'ultra vires' the Act and unlawful.
And in the past the idiot screechers and sqwarkers of CAsA having a rave in the Senate telling them .." we are a safety regulator , NOT a commercial regulator". BS tru. Pull the other one.
206 denies you the right to free trade and thus earn a living...just because an aircraft is involved.
Possibly Uber are going to challenge this assertion by CAR 206. They are notoriously libertarian and have shown no regard for any established law in any country they operate in and not afraid of a law suit.
If they don't do that I can't see how it will ever work legally. I assume Uber expect the operator to contract to them and somehow operate in a Monopsony. Problem for Uber there is that nothing is stopping the operator going off on their own as they control the AOC and just need a reservation system.
