.........I wouldn't want to be an ATC'er for all the tea in China!!!! That job yr welcome to guys/gals Trying to make EVERYBODY happy coming in & out of a drome would be the hardest thing known to mankind, we pilots are a soft lot at times You know what they say, flying is essentially boredom interrupted by a few scary moments taking off & ldg

As for poor airmanship? it simply doesn't exist these days, or at best it's a rarity. Ya can't 'teach' Airmanship really it's acquired as experience is gained.

Simply put it's my belief that getting a pilots license is too easy, money buys almost anything! It's more the checking of a license holder that is lacking.Airline pilots are the most checked/regulated lot out there but they still use the same sky as a pvt pilot does who rarely flies from one BFR to another.
Where damn lucky that Oz is a BIG SKY place & few fly over it compared to Europe for Eg....phew !!!!
