Using Facts, Rather than Emotion
Woomera,
Thank you.
Without wishing in any way to insult or discourage participants in this forum, we have found that whilst subjects such as airspace design can become extremely emotive and at times personal, that emotive argument is next to useless when trying to influence the changes that caused the emotional responses. It would appear that the emotive arguments in other threads on this site, whilst passionate, are having little or no effect.
We find it far better to [try to] remain dispassionate, and to use facts and the truth to achieve our ends. That is why we have placed so much information at your respondents' disposal.
We hope that in the posts that we have made, your respondents will have seen how (relatively) easy it is to find factual information - and to use that information to argue their case. In dealing with Government and its agencies, what is not available in the public domain can be easily obtained through access legislation, such as Freedom of Information.
Let us be clear - we support airspace reform wherever it will derive benefits to the user community - without compromising safety, and without unnecessarily impacting user amenity. Such reforms must, however, be done in an open and inclusive manner, to ensure that they can be implemented safety and effectively.
