What would happen?
Real people wouldn't get the medical services they need. Their health would suffer.
People's live would change. Dramatic? yes but the reality.
GA and regional airlines have supported regional medical services for a long time but few have realised this as it it a background service.
This debacle has highlighted the issue and I for one am with the doctor.
When are airline management in this country going to be held culpable for their ignorance and stupidity?
Australia, it's people and it's government need to accept the fact that aviation in Australia (and the rest of the world for that matter) is an essential service and respect it accordingly.
