For those that missed it, the transcript is here

I thought the program was impressive. The lack of "punchiness" some posters alluded to may be because of the balance of the report. An example - LW had allegations put to him and he answered them. The ABC acknowleged positive reports of Transair operations.

There are a number of factors to consider when judging a report such as this. The first is that there is an ongoing ATSB investigation and, secondly, slagging off a person or company is likely to result in a writ for defamation.

I was most impressed by the underlying message - GA pilots are generally shafted in the end and that the situation is not satisfactory. The public now know what we pilots have always known - the condition of GA, from the ground up, needs to change.

A special note should be made of Fiona's contribution to the report - thank you.
