I feel the saving of lives today is more important, if it was your son/daughter flying that route tomorrow what what be your thoughts?
at the risk of sounding like a broken record, myself, nor RatsoreA or anyone else in the search for MDX have any issue with what Dick is trying to achieve here.
What is objectionable and what the issue here is the method being used. If you want to drive airspace reform, save lives, save the dolphins, whatever, that's fine.
But please do so without hijacking other peoples work that has been ongoing for years. This was supposed to finally be the chance of national publicity in the interests of generating further exposure to get this matter solved. Now it's turned into a side show circus that Dick Smith has managed to orchestrate in a matter of a few hours.
