Real reform is a rule stating " the penalty for taking off downwind is $500.00".
Apart from the fact that that's not a rule, it's a strange thing to want - a rigidly applied blanket penalty which would allow no room for common sense (e.g. there was a two knot tailwind by the time I got to the end of the runway but I took off anyway, here's my $500 CASA!).
So do we want rigid enforcement or some flexibility; directives or no directives; consultation or no consultation? Whatever they do, they're never going to do anything good in the eyes of some.
