This was run by an ex navy carrier pilot,
Quite happy to have that fellow providing me with info; he actually would know what he is talking about. I don't mean this in a disparaging way, but you are delusional if you think even 10% of people who work on the airports I frequent could provide anything like a safe service. In fact, it would be unsafe because of their lack of knowledge.
Give me a Beepback and an AWIB every time, unless it's busy, then give me a CAGRO. Then if it's really busy, an AFIZ. And then a tower. Gee willikers, a safe, graded-service system that works well. Who'da thought such a system could exist in ..... Australia?
Well, well, well Captain Midnight, it seems that some USA experts don't have a clue about the system they are/were operating in, does it. Tut tut to them.
