I'm all for the regional areas. I grew up in the country, 4000 people town, and I live rural now. But before retiring I was rung by Ansett and asked "IF??? Maroochy closes and we have to use Bundy, how will that effect our company?" The numbers we ran were huge. Aviation is a wildly expensive business - this doesn't help. Yes I know some need to go overseas. I've been doing that myself for over 20 years. And that HAS to be done when there is no sim in Oz. But the fact remains - this move will cost many companys dearly.
Gunner - the old sim at Ansett is level B - cannot be used for IPCs and it is a 200, doesn't cover the 350.
Morno - I thought you were better than stupid sarcasm.
