Just so I can understand what "full industry defiance of the CASA CTAF ruling" means, is it just that everyone is using 126.7 as the default frequency for strips that aren't marked on the charts?
If so, and that's the safer approach, why all the fuss? All this protest would seem to be so much sound and fury, signifying nothing, given that everyone is ignoring CASA and continuing to do the safer thing.
When something in aviation doesn't make sense to me, I immediately get a whiff of the stench of politics or industrial relations or some other nefarious explanation.
What is all this really about?
Don't tell me: "Safety".
