Ramrod,
In the most simple terms, US produces the world's best air safety outcomes in every internationally recognized statistical category.

In total contrast to Australia.

To jog your memory think of the John Quadrio saga which occurred several years later.

Birds? What birds?

I wouldn't have a clue mate, just found it amusing how Dick wrote the title to imply that the Michaelmas Cay incursion was the sole reason for the licence action and then only back pedalled when he was called out on it.
