Plovett. Very astute and accurate post.
One of the reasons I failed the second time around to do the cost saving reform that was required is that Minister Anderson had no vision or support for reform.
The bureaucracy quickly understood this and followed the elected representative of the people. Recently I asked Mick Toller what happened to the cost saving parts of part 91 that was to be introduced during his tenure. His explanation was that he couldn't get it through the Ministers office . I would believe this.
It's the National Party who are primarily to blame for the state of GA in this country . This doesn't mean that the new minister could be different. We are all hoping so.
In the meantime I still stand by my advice to get out of aviation otherwise you will lose even more.
