OF AIRING DIRTY LINEN.....
The argument by airlines and airports over fees and charges was always going to go pear-shaped. Both parties have valid points to argue, both parties are under pressure to turn a profit for their shareholders/string pullers, and both parties outlay a lot of money for an often meagre or modest return. But to air it all in the Senate is dangerous. And this example of REX and Mt Gambier at war is a classic example of how not to behave and why not to air your linen publicly. The inquiry will ultimately fuel the bad blood between airlines and airports. Airlines by nature are arrogant and selfish and only care for the bottom dollar and CEO bonuses, regional airports are mostly owned and managed by redneck Councils and farmer plod Mayors who have not a single clue of how an airport runs.
The gloves are off, the claret is being spilled, and we are only at Round 1. Ding ding ding.....
“Unsafe senate stoush for all”
