Gee Keg, it certainly seemed that ALAEA were playing the overseas maintenance card pretty hard, so that seems a little unfair.

Look, with any type of journalism, you cannot please everyone all the time. GT has a hard task as someone with a strong background in the industry writing primarily for a broad audience where to them it seems that there are very black and white issues which are one way or another very emotional. In that sense, some detail may get lost in the 'translation', but overall I think he does a good job. And to be fair, to have the sort of aviation coverage that we do in such a relatively small industry (and smaller still in WA) is not too bad, and a credit to the journos who specialise in the industry.

I know it was a whlie ago now, but congratulations GT on the award.Go for back to back!
