Plane Talking – Ben Sandilands.
Grab a brew and have a read:- Bloody mainstream media, if it's not green , dead bodies or some unfortunates tits it's just not worth the trouble.
Good on ya Ben.
The US Federal Aviation Agency’s rehabilitation of Israel as a Level 1 state in relation to air safety ought to be read as the clearest of warnings to Australia to get its act together without delay.
If Australia is busted down to Level 2, which on the evidence, it should be, the consequences include the prohibition under US law of code shares between Australian flag carriers and those of America.
The managements of Qantas and Virgin Australia need to carefully consider what losing their respective code share deals with American Airlines and Delta would mean, and ask whether the craven acceptance of the dismal state of affairs in CASA, the ATSB and AirServices Australia is worth the damage such a downgrade would inflict on their shareholders, employees and commercial reputations.
There's a lot more in the article, well worth a couple of minutes.
