James Michael and Capn Bloggs, if you want to know what is actually happening in the USA from the information I received, it is quite simple – just give me a phone call (as many have) on 0408 640 221 or 02 9450 0600.
There is no way I am going to waste my time in giving the information to those who hide behind anonymity. For all I know, anonymous people on this post could be hand in hand with the Airservices management, whose remuneration is geared to the profits of Airservices – not to the interests of Australian aviation and air safety.
I have said before that I entirely support the requirement for anonymity in PPRuNe so frightened pilots can post important information that will further benefit Australian aviation. I certainly don’t support anonymity to talk about a scientific subject such as ADS-B. I am totally suspicious in this case that those who post anonymously have some sort of financial benefit to gain. In fact, I have very little doubt that many of them do.
