Rediculous statements re the money saved not assisting the aviation industry but somehow being used to fund the Super Seasprite disaster.
Bringing the staff from 7000 to 4000 clearly saved the aviation industry a fortune. Most of these people were paid by the aviation industry and that's where the saving went.
AsA has never been funded by the taxpayer- always by the industry.
Howabout. What money was wasted on the ideology of removing mandatory full position reporting for VFR? It saved a fortune. What money was wasted by giving operational control to the industry? What money was wasted on the ideology by closing down Mt Isa tower and the RFFS at all the secondary airports?
All a huge saving to our industry that would have been in a a far worse situation now if the changes and savings were not made!
And how come you are all gutless and anonymous. If you really believed in what you were saying at least one of you would post under your own name . There is nothing in the prune rules which prevent posts under a real name!
