I have just finished reading the Willoughby Report tabled by the Minister on 28 May.
A most interesting read!!
Over $70M saving by cutting sectors down from 642 to 10 to 15!
The only cost benefit is to the private pilot who can now fly direct out Hornsby to Taree and save $23.33 one way. Major benifits to training overseas pilots in Aus. They will all come her now because the savings are substantial, $23.33 and they will not have to use any grey matter as the "System" is now the same as the US and they will feel more "Comfortable" flying here!
Nowhere is Pilot work load addressed, only Pilot education at minimal cost.
And of course the NAS has precidence over everything else because the Big Kahoona said so, including regulation changes and all other matters both AsA, DOTARS and CASA related.
An unbelievable document. Who is advising the Minister on things Aviation if he tables junk like this!!
