Adamastor,
"Rest assured that I'll be raising this within ASA as well."
Good Luck matey, don't get too disheartened by the deafly silence and the internal laughter being done by ASA Managers. I have been down that path, through another forum, they only have their own agenda's and personal perks they worry about. The only reason they would donate any monies is for personal gain ie. To gain higher profile within the company by impressing upper level management. But you'll hear the old tried and tested " I don't have the budgetary monies to contribute to this, it's not in the interests of Airservices."
