Well Ms. Staib,
none of your diatribe at the Australian can alter the fact that you and your senior management get paid some fairly healthy top ups to your super by way of bonuses.
Pretty neat trick inflicting an unwanted, unwarranted requirement for ADSB on an industry already creaking at the knees from the cost burden of CAsA's regulatory brain farts by forcing them to pay for what they didn't want and didn't need. Guess that comes from being a monopoly.
ASA definition of cost benefit analysis, the cost is the industries the benefits are to directors bonuses!
You say in your diatribe Australia is the "Safest" to that I would say "Bollocks" we are just the "Lucky" country. Hope your still around when that Luck runs out.
And still you still want to go round and round with semantics of who's qualified and who's not to run a Unicom!!! Who gives a SHIT, It works just fine in the USA and has for a lot of years, costs nothing and it improves safety, why the hell are we getting bound up with Bullshit about this. Perhaps its because you cant see a quid in it that may add to your bonus?
ASA is a monopoly, is that why Angus is so opposed to firies doing Unicom service? Demarcation for goodness sake!! You charge almost double what it costs in NZ for Fire service at airports and almost triple what it costs in the USA, so what percentage of that goes to your bonus?
