Neville. I think you may be a bit mixed up. Under my Chairmanship of CAA the review of resources under Frank Baldwin was introduced bringing staff numbers from 7000 to 3500,
Or maybe you wanted the duplicated mandatory full position Flight Service system to stay costing about $100 m a year ?
I am still the only one stating that the cost of safety regulation has to be AFFORDABLE by those who are forced to pay or the market no longer exists.
And we still get fools on this site saying I introduced affordable safety as if un- affordable safety is a possible way to go!
It was the Bosche report well before my time that introduced user pays.
