RWY 33 actually, interesting for that time of the year.

Uncommon.

Yes, generally I accept they just push tin. But that decision, and potentially others, seem swayed by $$$$

The point I made earlier is that safety of either a 172, a Dash-8 or a 737 should not be based on $$$$ and that ATC charges should be funded either from consolidated revenue or a ticket tax in combination with rego fees.

That way certain (non-ATC) AsA employees would have no incentive to drive fees up and thus try to enshrine different levels of service at controlled airports.

A combination of tax funding and spread user-pays seems to me to be the only way safety isnt compromised.
