We must be prepared to pay a reasonable fee for what we need and use.The days of the freeloader are gone.The main problem with the aviation industry is the commercial skulduggery, trickery, monopolies, subsidies, concessions, dispensations, and government agencies that the industry does not trust. WE SHOULD ALL PAY A REASONABLE FEE FOR WHAT WE USE. NOT WHAT SOMEONE ELSE USES.
Why should I have to pay a fee for firefighting whenever we land a C340 at Ayers Rock or Alice Springs when the operators of Barons, C310's etc do not. I have never asked for RFFS, I do not want, but have to pay for this "service" because the major ailines carry more than 350,000 pax per year into these places. The major airlines should pay for this.
Why should flying schools get free landings? Can I get free landings too?
Why is the remote area subsidy paid to only selected operators? Why do some regional airines get concessions at some airfields.
Can I have a monopoly like Airservices has?
LET'S HAVE A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD WITH ALL THE COSTING EXPOSED, SO THE INEFFICIENCIES CAN BE DEALT WITH.
