Fatigueflyer, I am not sure who is missing the point...
I would expect this type of handling in DAC but not in the developped world or a country that says it is developped: Australia.
Then again assuming that you are Australian, this one will fly right by you!
DAC anytime over SYD or any OZZIE station, the most backward customs ever seen in my flying career, beet the poms hands down matie! That is one title we can gladly give them without any qualms.
And I agree with goretex, the guy in NZ know what it's all about and it shows...maybe Australians need to learn a few things before they start telling the world how to do it.
