The CAIR system also provided an excellent forum for dobbing in Dick Smith's warriors not complying with mandatory radio procedures. Perhaps he had a hand in it's demise...
Replacing CAIR with "self-dob" must have ben made by one of the new breed of bureaucrat: not an ounce of experience or commonsense, or any understanding of aviation safety.
This is not a good move, and will decrease the safety effort. ATSB should be funded to run both programs. John, stop porkbarrelling and get with it.
