since when has anyone taken some smart thinking from the US aviation indusrty and applied it here??
first was with GA and Terrorism, the US Knows that GA aircraft are no threat to homeland security, and promtly left it alone to prosper, but not here! a 500 KG plastic aircraft flying at 90Kts IS a terrorist weapon of choice! even when its crewed by honest australians!
even if proven that pay for training endos doesnt work in the US and is directly responsible for a decline in safety, that wont matter here, all that matters here in Oz, is
$$ saved.
