Eddie –"[In respect to the second FAA visit,] etc"
No respect, whatsoever is the short answer. None to the FAA, none for industry, none for the Australian traveller, none for the Parliament which pays through the nose; or for the industry which funds the sheltered workshops and child day care centres CASA call 'training programs'. In short the Yanks got 'dissed' (as the youngun's say), perhaps, they'll visit again. I'd bet a choccy frog a downgrade to Cat 2 would get Truss, his minions, sycophants and 'advisors' off their collective posteriors. Quick smart.
We can only hope Uncle Sam is watching.
