Ullo,
You keep saying $70M per year.....
When going around the traps spruiking the then 'new world', 'Mike' (surname forgotten) from the 'implementation team', kept saying it was $80M per year for FS !
At the RAPAC meeting where he kept saying this, I challenged him and said that I really would like my share of that.....
$80M, (or &70M...doesn't matter that much...)
divided by the number of FSO's at the time = a very 'tidy sum' thankyou.
He couldn't justify the amount, but just kept on repeating it - obviously a major part of his 'speel'.....
I do not know, and was never able to ascertain, just how this 'figure' was derived, but can only imagine it was a figure that encompassed all CAA / AsA infrastructure, radio facilities, buildings, vehicles, etc etc a lot of which was joint ATC / FS infrastructure.
And the cost? A 'levy' of 2C per litre on avgas was the FS source of income at the time.
What is the current levy?
And for what?
No Cheers this time.....
