Full radar coverage but no radar service provided.
There is
NOT 'full radar coverage' there. Simple, there isn't so no need to say there is to emphasise a point.
I haven't read the newspaper article but on 3AW this morning Ross & John were having quite a bit of 'fun' with this. They stated that the passengers on the aircraft out of Essendon refused to take the same aircraft back if the same pilot was flying. They stated that another pilot had to be flown up to Mount Hotham to bring them and the aircraft back. Is this what the newspaper article stated as well?
They were making the pilot out to be an incompetent idiot.
