Arrj,
I understand how you eggbeater types have to stick up for one another ... as no one else understands how you lot can move your hands, feet, head and tongue all at once ... in six different directions.
And, I know that Dick thinks he is right ... just like everyone else on here does. However, we can't all be right. The only available option is to go with what the majority think is right ... even if they are wrong.
And don't be under the misconception that Dick is the only one here, or in the Industry, who has tasted overseas practice. Many have.
We have looked at what's on offer around the joint, digested it, compared the offering to our environment and we have formed opinions. However, even our majority opinions get overridden by CASA ... as their right is better than our right ... or even Dick's right.
In the end, Dick's louder voice does not make his right any more righter than ours. He has to learn to live with that.
