Well I think this quote says it all..depending how you "Interpret it"...which means....How the FOI of the day "Interprets it" OR how the "Iron Ring" directs the FOI of the day to interpret it.
"intent to regulate, to the greatest extent practicable"
Therefore this could mean:
"Shut the bastards down, dont care how you do it, just shut them down"....understand this was a directive to a certain "Wabbit"at the BK warren.
OR
It could mean:
"Just ensure that it is so expensive that nobody in their right mind could could afford it"...This ensures that no aircraft actually commit "aviation"..all in the interests of "Safety" of course...therefore we can big note our safety record at the Montreal cocktail parties.
Bit like the"let them eat cake" quote..bugger the punters, if they die on the road "Aint our fault"
I would really hate to think that the Mods were pressured into shutting down a thread that generated such interest because of pressure from such an obviously corrupt organisation. This is Australia guys, not Zimbawi.
