The other way this may end is if ICAO or the FAA lowers the boom.
ICAO won't do anything. They don't go after Western regulators. The FAA came within a hairs breadth of dropping the boom 3 years ago, but the spin doctors got to work and the FAA went away satisfied with the veneer of pooh they were handed.
Seems a smoking or hole or six is the only way that Aus aviation will change, pity it will take that. Or maybe the Voodoo Witchdoctor will do another stint in Montreal now that Ruddy has his glorious seat on the UN council? A plethora of robustness......
