Folks,
The real answer is for all the ATOs to get together and approach the Minister, and let him know that aviation will grind to a halt unless this is reversed, making certain he understands it is NOT a cost issue, it is a semi-religious conviction withing a certain group in CASA ---- who want to see the industry squeezed to death.
To quote one of those involved: " There should only be two kinds of aviation, airlines and military".
Tootle pip!!
