I wish to clarify an important aspect of the NAS debate.
The debate is entirely about safety aspects of NAS and the cost or cost effectiveness of NAS.
Whether or not certain PPRuNe users derive an income (in any form) from Australian airspace management is totally and entirely irrelevant. This debate is about factual and faultless safety or cost arguments.
Whilst Mr Smith suggests Voices of Reason has a commercial interest in the debate, so do many other PPRuNe users by virtue of their various employment. Indeed, it could be said that I, as an Australian, have a vested interest in AsA profitability.
Whether or not VoR, Mr Smith or other PPRuNe user derives income or benefit from airspace management is totally irrelevant when the debate is solely on issues of safety, efficiency and cost.
Play the ball, not the man.
On another issue, anonymity is a fundamental principal of PPRuNe. Had the user attempted to "out" another individual on any other forum or thread, exclusion from this forum would have been the inevitable and immediate outcome. Period! PPRuNe Administration have not given a dispensation for a free for all!!!
