1. by all means object to the CAS proposal, but I don't think that that's what this post is all about, besides which it would appear that you have latched onto the LAA approach which led to many objections based upon supposition, not fact.
2. When I PM'd you I offered to assist with your percieved problem by asking you to forward facts, you turned me down flat which leads me to believe that it was just that - a perception.
3. Admittedly we did join the Strasser Scheme late, but equally we've never ever charged anyone for an emergency landing, prove me wrong.
It's unfortunate that you choose to base your opinions of one airport upon whatever may or may not have taken place, by all means spout forth but at least have give yourself some credibility by backing your statements up with facts.
