Hi,
Could you elaborate more on what's wrong with BasAir?
I flew about 20 hours with them - was OK. Bit tired 172s, but still coming to land in one piece. As for Bankstown being busy - that's actually a bonus. What would one do in busy airspace in US if not trained appropriately?
As for weather - still better than in Europe or Seattle, especially during the so-called down-under winter months :-)
