Jetski (Biggles, this next may partly answer your original thread starting question)
Nobody I know of is trying to "shaft" any subsidy you bitter and twisted individual.
Have a browse of (among others) the thread "Australian Airspace Discussion"
At post 90 as one example you will find Dick (I have been holding off this comment pending his return) state (and I am certain I have seen something even stronger from him re holding off ADS-B)
No Not stop ADSB, just delay the decision so we have all the facts
Things seem to have gone very quiet on the news re the JCP and radar, apart from Dick fishing for news.
But, one thing is inescapable. If anyone has succeeded in "delaying" the decision on ADS-B, then:
1. The radar contract will have to be signed, and,
2. The cross industry funding (the 'subsidy') is therefore lost until 2028.
Any delay tactics re the JCP - be they pressure on the Minister over a repeat of unique Oz technology past attempts, right through to pressure re the Airservices alleged Delaware money losses and the effect on the dividend - have one final consequence.
They "shaft" the subsidy. Like I stated.
I hope that is not a likely possibility. Industry should decide the way forward with ADS-B, not individuals. I have my fingers crossed.
(Planky, you could say it is an enigma to me
