No Mr Smith, in the lower 48 states US radar coverage above FL290 is virtually total. That is why ADS-B there is not going to be mandatory until 2020. You also fail to mention that Europe and most of SE Asia will have the same requirement by 2013.This is a compliance cost that all operators above FL290 will have to bear, whether they are Australian or not. You also fail to consider to the huge cost savings available from ADS-B coverage (availability of optimal FL, direct tracking etc.) due to the vast reduction in separation standards just as RVSM did vertically. It is you that needs to wake up to yourself!

Pilots that are unemployed are certainly not going to be bemoaning the mandatory fitment of ADS-B as the cause of their woes!
Whatever business you operate or have operated Mr Smith, you certainly do not display much acumen for the aviation business in your various rants against CASA, ASA, the RAAF, the ABC etc. etc. etc.
