Get off the grass.

Where are you going with the fishing expedition for negative stuff? Your post disrespects a whole range of people who give their time to help, none the least of whom are the earth angels who drive the passengers to and from airports and the allied organisations who arrange allied services such as accommodation.

Angel Flight does a powerful job for people in need. Frequently these people live in places not served by RPT, or have conditions that the airlines will be fussy about or travel with prams, walking aids & other things that airlines get uptight about. Or they need to travel as a family group, in which case fuel is cheap compared with the airlines. Other times it means one less night away from home for patients who are commonly kids.

If you want to tilt at windmills, ask why our healthcare is so heavily centralised that people need to travel to CBD locations for treatment.

I have wide experience with not for profit organisations and Angel Flight is one of the best I have seen.
