I reckon I can sum that up in just one word Dick,
"PRIVATISATION".
Think - 'landing fees' for every T&G, plus of course, for the 'compulsory' full stop..?
Or maybe 'User Pays' would also get a big mention.
Think - all 'mandatory / current' publications, maps charts etc,
most of which used to be issued 'free'.
e.g.
Wanna BUY a 'holder' for ya overpriced AIP's Kid..??
Now I pay $11 every few months or so, for VTC VNC etc
Even WAC's WERE less than $2...
And no, I do not believe that my safety has been enhanced, and no, it does NOT cost me less.....
No cheers
