You don't even understand why the CAGRO was put in there, do you? Do you really think a joe bloggs baggage chucker (or for that matter a firey) could serve any useful purpose at Ballina when it's busy? All he would do is get in the way (and be a menace to safety).
And it's clear from Bloggs that FAA Unicoms can't even give traffic or WX info
Read the document I posted. They can give weather. What does my old man say... "There are none so blind as those that will not see".
Going to YPBO tomorrow, will look out for the scantily-clad girl with the follow-me van offering me a cuppa with a "fill 'er up mate?" greeting!
