I know I'm taking the bait here but....
That would explain why we are held in reasonably high regard elsewhere in the world if we choose to expand our horizons.
At one stage we had over 40 previously Australian licensed ATCs here in Hongkers, the majority of whom are still here.
This is because:
A) we are an easy going bunch i.e. you don't get them down any faster by sh!tting yourself ( to paraphrase a well known ex SAAC)
B) we don't get "in" peoples faces when we disagree with them
C) we understand what we're trying to achieve rather than just operating a sausage machine
D) we don't take cr@p from upstarts like Churchall
E) we'll drink with anyone (even Poms)
