Dick's at it again
Hey Dick, Aussie pilots have not flown in the USA? Well here are some pilots that have:
NAS UNREALISTIC - IFALPA: NAS is "unrealistic" for Australia, according to the International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations president Captain Dennis Dolan He said it was unrealistic for the Australian NAS to be modelled on the US ATC system.
"The US and Australian airspaces are completely different in terms of the level of traffic and radar coverage that exists in the US," he said. "One cannot compare a country that has more than 85% radar coverage to one that has only 15%.
"Australia has moved from a much safer system, to one where the responsibility of separation has been transferred from the professional air traffic controllers and pilots to the amateur recreational pilot, and placed a greater reliance on 'see and avoid' procedures.
"This method of separating aircraft has been acknowledged internationally as a last resort procedure, and is completely unsuitable for high speed jet transport operations."
Dolan was in Sydney for the 59th International IFALPA conference, attended by 300 pilots from 48 member countries.

As usuall Dick, you sprout your ingnorant and arrogant pontifications, failing to answer in a direct manner any questions put to you. No wonder you are such good mates with Anderson at each and every election time.
To say that midair incidents and close calls occur less in the USA is just a barefaced lie. Your arrogance is breathtaking and your ego is quite simply out of control.
By the way, when will you be making a formal apology to the Virgin crew you quite obviously slandered on talk-back radio? Read the report before you mouth off you twit. You simply succeeded in making yourself look twice the fool.
