JAK how's that confounded French Chainsaw going?

If the pax survive that, they can spend 1/2 an hour explaining to the taxi dispatcher they're at the Bankstown Airport Terminal, which is at the bottom of Airport Avenue, then wait an hour for the cabbie to rock up because he couldn't find Airport Avenue and just did the rounds of the perimeter road trying to work out what hangar number you were at.
The last time I diverted in there with the Dash the taxi driver scumbags refused to go there to pick up 36 fares. The reason? They don't feel safe going there after dark, according to the dispatcher

I have greater fear getting in a cab, the way some of those idiots drive compared to security at the airport

If taxis refuse to go there after dark, BAL has a major image and security problem to address before RPT starts going there.....

Plus there is no public transport infrastructure (currently) to get people out of the aiport.
