[Sandy Reith]

Dear P2 with respect regarding “If I were Virgin I'd seriously contemplate cancelling that order for 48 737 MAX aircraft, as it could be years before we see another MAX in our airspace.” ...I doubt very much that Mr. Carmody would be able to stop the Max for more than a short token period. Huff and puff won’t overcome the realities of serious commercial interests and US Australia relationships.
Time will tell in the not too distant future.
Cheers and keep up the great work, everyone will hopefully understand that concerned aviation minded citizens are working voluntarily to inform and influence towards badly needed reforms. Rule by bureaucrats instead of rule by law must not stand, jobs, services, businesses are at stake, but more importantly are our freedoms, fairness and justice for those qualities are universal to all of our living.

P2 comment: With all due respect back at you Sandy, you do know that my statement was very much tongue in cheek and if the patron Saint of Australian Aviation Safety is deluded enough to believe that the lifting of the ban on 737 MAX aircraft flying in Australian airspace is dependent on his blessing...well I've got a cheap bridge that spans the Sydney harbour I can sell him...
