Yet another call for a bailout. Must be nice working for an organisation where you can hold a gun to a politician's head. Tip for the Libs/Nats: ignore them! Let the market sort it out. That said, how about some changes to the market so that the market can do its stuff and work it out? Keep working on removing the carbon tax.
Step 1: A broom through the CASA to get the regs sorted out.
Step 2: Get rid of RPT designations. An aviation company either meets the requirements to fly or it doesn't.
Step 3: Invest in some infrastructure. Build some aerodromes. Give some money to the states to allocate it towards aerodromes as they see fit.
Step 4: Sydney Kingsford Smith is dead as the prime international aerodrome! The realization that Sydney is no longer suitable as the international gateway to Australia is important so that organisations can move forward with other options.
Step 5: Let Qantas, Virgin and Rex sort out their own problems.
