So why do we need it here? And what does it do anyway, especially out in the regions?
Very good questions indeed but I have to say that the pilot fraternity, especially GA has been its own worst enemy in all this. By saying that I mean I have not seen or heard of one representative voice at any of the multitude of industry consultation meetings that have occurred.
Spare a thought for the airport operators though, all you have to do is fork out your dosh and dangle the damn thing around you neck. The airports are the ones who get constantly hammered by OTS.
