Not for profit????

Charter AOC's are meant for commercial operations, and should not be issued to "not for profit" non tax paying organisations. They should have to operate by normal commercial rules and pay award wages, if they have an AOC.
Too many use things like govt provided houses etc to avoid paying award wages, and can get the public to contribute to their operating costs.
GA will never be really healthy unless all operators operate on a sound commercial basis.
Our government is racist, and encourages distortion of the commercial system to get cheap services, while it accumulates huge surplusses. No wonder Australian GA is sick.
