Ditto, otherwise I'd have to have grave doubts about the abilities of the people and process that gave him the necessary bit of paper. Our domestic airlines have shown they are quite capable of giving pax an exciting ride, though the pax may not have been aware of the fact at the time - Bangkok over run, Mildura, autoland at Adelaide with untrained crew and ILS not certified, running wing tanks dry, level busts on descent. No one can take a high and mighty stance.

I'm reminded of the corporate story where an employee made a decision that cost the owner a bucket of money. A snivelling underling sidled up to the owner asking, "well I suppose that's him for the high jump". "What, after all I've just spent on his education" he replied. Dominic is no doubt now the countries expert on remote island operations. I wish him all the very best.
