I think what Normas was trying to elude to was the CULTURAL differences encountered in the change, along with some procedural changes. Having flown out of SS base, I know what a great bunch of guys and girls they are. The changes , I believe, were massive and were possibly not handled that well by EAA, at the end of the day - its their train set....................We went through it in Melb with the same problems, we didn't like the metal bar approach either, and change is always difficult - more than anything its ATTITUDE...................on both sides.
