I think CASA should take a leaf out of the sustainable agriculture handbook.
We (pilots/aircrew/controller/etc) are like cattle (or sheep if your from NZ
), you can take a certain amount from us each year to make money for yourselves and to improve the farm. However, if you take everything in one go then there is nothing there for next year and so your source of income stops.
Now if you only take a little bit, just enough to keep yourselves happy and the farm running then next year there well be more of us. The more of us there are the money you can make and so on and so on. I learnt this in year 8. Funny how I never thought I would use it.
