WTF is the point of a third runway when they can't use the 2 they have ?
Gatwick UK average of 52 movements an hour with one runway, Perth 24 an hour ( as long as no cloud around ) with 2 runways. Hong Kong in the high 40s per hour with many more issues to deal with eg terrain, weather, 3 chinese airports within 15 minutes etc etc.
What happened to LAHSO ?
Why do they bother printing SIDs for RW24 when it is almost never used.
Why do they use RW21 with a 15kt x-wind/5 kt tailwind and no ILS when 03/06 are into the wind and 03 has an ILS.
If, as seems to be the case, there is a lack of staff at Perth ATC why is AA not held accountable for the 100s of 1000s they are costing airlines and mining companies ?

I managed to shut the taxi driver up long enough to hear Mr Geatches on ABC radio in Perth today.
Please don't call him mister, he is a tool, with an agenda, make as much money as possible and screw the ACTUAL purpose of an airport.

Welcome to Australia. A very expensive third world country or perhaps now heading way below third world
I would go as far as to insert " welcome to WA "
