I'm not sure on Dick's motives here. If this is not meant to offend controllers, and going to effect change in the regs, why is he posting here? Clearly should be meeting with ASA and CASA. Not bitching on a forum with pilots and ATC!
We can't do anything about it. Those ATCs in procedures do try and get better things through, but not on the scale that he's looking for. Your gripes should be directed at Canberra and not us. (inb4 he's not attacking ATCs. "If America can do it, why can't you?" doesn't really sit well.)
