Can anybody explain why in good weather etc, one of the requirements if you don't want to hold an alternate is destination has to have dual (separate, not crossing) runways - but only for for overseas ops. AU single runway is fine....
MOS 121 4.08 refers.
CASA don't want a real fight with the airlines over a real safety issue that will increase operating costs and build pressure on the Australian government about the lack of Australian aviation infrastructure.
Probably a career ending move for anyone involved. Much safer to make lots of noise about non-issues where there are no real consequences and make a nice little line on your resume.
