I even offered to fund RAAF personnel to travel overseas and see how the North American military can efficiently handle civilian traffic without constant holding.
But it has never happened- they are too insecure to ask advice and copy the best .
I think you'll find most senior RAAF leaders have either had months or years in the states on tasks, visits or exchange postings and would be well aware of how things work over there.
You have a great knack of painting the picture as you want it seen, Dick ...

who? when? anyone who could have learnt anything they didn't already know?
But it has never happened- they are too insecure
Never happened, because it had already happened! but you're using this non-situation to suggest to us that:
a) You know best
b) They are incompetent
c) You tried your hardest to fix it, but to no avail.
Now, don't forget to invoke a crash and somehow link it to the stubbornness of the RAAF denying clearances to pilots in need.
