Dick, you claim nobody will answer you in relation to AYE. I'm sure they must have, but just in case...... (I wouldn't want an innocent reader to get the wrong impression from something YOU say
).
AYE was/is an EXPERIMENT forced upon aviation in oz by people who believe in EXACTLY THE SAME PHILOSOPHY AS YOU. User pays, cost shifting by using CAGROs etc etc. It is exactly what you continually rant that YOU WANT. The "free and easy" approach to airspace management.
Ironic, really, that you are now saying 'it's a bad thing'.
The US NAS also protects air traffic controllers and pilots as it makes it quite clear where responsibility lies
I laughed. How does that sit with your "criminally negligent" statement? You liar.
