Lets take your money and crew the tower at Avalon Mr Smith.

We need how many controllers? Three, maybe four to cover days off, lunch breaks etc. Where are we going to get them?; lets pull them from Melbourne, Essendon and Moorabbin seeing as they live close to Avalon.

Wait a minute, I seem to recall the phrase "Melbourne clearance delivery and ground frequencies combined due staff shortage, expect delays" Broadcast on the Melbourne ATIS.

Now, boys and girls, I believe that if we are having trouble employing staff for the major international towers where the passenger numbers per year are many, many times Avalon's capacity, that is a more major safety concern than the tower at Avalon.

If you want to do something worthwhile with your money Mr Smith I suggest looking at ways to improve the training intake at Airservices Australia.

And I agree with Kaptain_Kaos, judging by how quiet you have been the past few months, it's obviously time for another attention seeking, publicity grabbing statement.
