Whatever your arguments Dick, best not hold up the FAA as an example of how things should be done.
They make Airservices Australia and CASA look like the best around.
The hearings on Capitol Hill over the past two weeks have shown just how dysfuntional their National Airspace System has become - a wreck looking for somewhere to happen and very soon.
I am sure you will agree that is not something we should be trying to emulate.
