Ummm, I got a little confused watching this, for want of a better term, "program".
I may just be a low time heli guy, but wasnt the whole idea of NAS to reduce the "interference" of ATC?
Wasnt Dicks whole idea that talking on the radio was such a bad idea for pilots, that it was far better to remove all of those confusing frequencies off the chart?
I must say that my favourite bit was when Dick said he was taking Air Services to court because they were reducing the control of ATC. Last time I checked he was suing them because nobody (except Dick) liked the system, so they were scapping it, and like little kid running to mum wants to sue.
Personally I found that segment deplorable, another proud chapter in modern Australian journalism.
Great to see that trial by media is alive and well
