Ferryman;
That's the key word Kharon; EFFICIENCY, 'the state or quality of being efficient, or able to accomplish something with the least waste of time and effort; competency in performance'.
Spending a billion dollars on a system that; a) is not necessary, and b) is not the 'fix' for all our airpsace problems is a total waste of precious pennies. Considering that the economic boom is heading down the other side of the curve and we have several years of barrel scraping ahead of us it defies logic that Harfwit, the limp wristed Houston and the rest of the Board and executive trough dwellers would sign off on this lemon. No wonder the pensioners and lower class will cop it in the ass with the winding down of Medicare and other services. Meanwhile Electric Blue and his conga line of boot lickers will spend copious amounts of money on a white elephant, not to mention the trips to France, corporate dinners and the odd hand shandy in a no-tell Motel.
Now for the steam - We need better infrastructure, the removal of curfews, introduction of initiatives, systems and efficiencies to help, as Kharon said; 'free up holding time'. An A320 from Mackay flying into Brisbane should not be held up every day and fucking night by ATC. It's utter bullshit. Planes flying into Heathrow and LAX have less holding time related delays!
The muppets governing Australia need to wake up from their slumber, grow a set of plums and make the call to fix things, NOW!
We are choking to death on red tape, bureaucracy, a lack of leadership and testicular fortitude, and agencies living in the 1960's. It's time to get rid of the old dross in government who are holding us back in a Sir Joh like timewarp and hire the young whipper snappers who have the balls of a Brahma Bull and the intelligence of an Einstein. Is it time for change? Hell yeah.

Quote:"As it stands, the only thing industry is likely to be stuck with is the incredible bill for ‘One-Sky’; which, IMO would be nice to have, but we don’t need. What we need is ‘efficiency’ in the form of reduced holding, infrastructure in the form of better operational management in bad weather; better weather information; better coverage from ATC etc".
