Hi Cecil,
Well, we are paying about as much now as we did then....so why not?
Airservices CAN afford to give GA a whole lot more...but...the fees raised by them are returned to the Govt....sorta like a tax really.
I pay. You pay. We don't get the equivalent service.
Or if you're a croppie, I can see that you don't require any more than your guys on the ground for your SAR / services, but there is a whole GA Industry out there paying through their fuel, for a no-service.
And, yes, I give Dick the credit for it - and that is true - it was his decision / policy.
I have met the man, and now I truly thank him for the 'redundo' pack - what is wrong with that??
Cheers
