I'll give you the S word OZ,

Words to the effect that:
  • Controllers have to concentrate on Class C far from the aerodrome, when the collision risk is greatest in the vicinity of the runways - they've proved they can do both for years.
  • You can't have Class C without radar - particularly nice spin, which ignores the fact, totally, that there is no such requirement.
  • The chances of a collision between a VFR and IFR are 'vanishingly small' in Class E - what I am actually saying is that I advocate a system based on chance.
  • The US is world's best practice - let's just ignore the fact that prangs between IFR passenger carrying operations and VFR traffic have occurred in that system, but that they haven't in our 'dysfunctional' system.
  • It's the best system in the world because they handle 10 times the traffic that we do - with 10 times the controllers.
Any more?
