Thankyou Kharon for actually taking the time to read my post. We don't always see eye to eye but a critical and unbiased assessment of a post is always a civilized way to proceed the discussion. I was among the many who thought that an inquiry by the Senate would resolve many issues facing the aviation industry. I thought that the Senate would be listened to and that at the very least any recommendations put forward by them would be acted upon. That was in 2010 (or 2009) and we are still facing the same system, no changes, no compromise by both sides of the political fence.
The various industry associations are starting to get a bit more vocal, so like Obi Wan they are our only hope. The only other vehicle for change is too unpleasant to contemplate but historically, the likely path.
