Tell me Chris how your loud bluster overcomes the maths of the problem and through shouting 'No Holding Ever', all the aircraft get to land without delay? I believe you could make a lot of money! And make a lot of pilots and controllers happy at the same time.
I don't think Airspace reform, or those that administer the airspae, has much to do with building more concrete mate - and as you well know, THAT is the limiting factor to movements in Australia, NOT airspace.
You can loudly blow your horn about more infrastructure - we would all like it - as someone else has said: who pays?
I don't think the GA user want to pay for it directly (I know I don't).
Are you seriously telling me that you can't get 27 aircraft down in 45 freakin' hours!!! Surely you can't be serious!! Hopefully you mean 45 minutes, right?!!
We really need to get some new controllers in Oz right now!!
