Ya'all can whinge and bitch an' moan all ya like about the cost, but it is the future and will one day be mandated for AALLLLLLL aircraft.
Could have been subsidised but killed off by luddites, tightarses and fools
So your crediting a few questioning people for putting paid to Government sponsered ADSB? Power to the people eh? What we need is for ATC to put an effort in, do longer hours, less RDO's, maybe even knock back their wages a bit and then the Government could afford to give us all IFR GPS's, ADSB set ups and pay for somebody to put it in.
Back to you Mr Stanley
What about getting the thousands of pilots wanting to be Captains and willing to pay for work for years to get expirence to head toward ATC? They can pay for training (How hard can it be, they let wimmin do it?). Then when they do quailifiey they can start on reduced wages, say only $1500 week and only about 2 months paid holiday. ATC is a lot more secure and you would earn more than regional or even cut price airline captains. Admittedly you would'nt have a uniform, that's a big drawback but you'll be able to order captains around so that would nearly make up for that. I'm on a winner here folks, think about it. Plenty of ATC willing to work for less and less people wanting to become captains, win win situation.
