Dick Smith
Re: "Your claim to fame is as a wealthy electronics guy made good (congratulations on that btw), a pilot who hates ATC’s and a stint at CASA. Keep your nose out of something you know nothing about, and have had no experience in"
It might be worthwhile getting your facts straight first. Prior to Dick's last stint at CASA, he was also the Chairman on the CAA around 1989/90/91, when the organisation did have responsibility for Air Traffic Services. Along with former CEO Frank Baldwin, Dick was around at the time of regional Flight Service Unit closures and the decision to proceed with the 2-centre concept. So, to say he has no experience in Air Traffic Services is not true.
