All you Oz colleagues - more strength to your arms - we've been through it twice in 6 years this side of the ditch and all I can say is stick to your guns and tell the bean counters to go find economies elsewhere.
As for ULM I can only assume that he's still flying a C152 for a couple of reasons
1. He's bloody lucky not to have killed himself with those sort of slapdash who gives a stuff attitudes.
2. He's been spotted coming by anyone operating commuter level or larger aircraft and they've run a mile.
Cheers guys and good luck.
