Spectacular:clap:

When anyone complains they really only have to look at ryanair..There looking at Charges to go to the toilet...theres no check in counter, so if you forget to do it online before you go its 40 smackeroonies..The guy who runs it is looking into upright seating..Hes a bit of loon if you ask me..

 

Tiger are a pack of mice compared to some lowcost airlines..

 

If you get there on time and read the small print and there usually wont be a problem....Its not there fault if your late..

I second all of that:thumb_up:

when you only want to pay $30 for a ticket, dont expect customer service.

Too true,

Effective customer service ensures your customers don't have to "need a good dose of STFU"...

Agree but there are alot of customers do need a touch up

I have to admit I was impressed on how they stuck by their policies. Some passengers need a case of shut the up some times.

Allthough I thought the 4 mins late thing was a bit tough.

I have been watching this for the past few days, All the best what an effort

The video section isn't working at the moment. Should be online soon

Oh yeah, look at all the drifter boys come out of the woodwork now. ...

Weak animals hunt in packs:laugh:

Then again maybe the RAA / HGFA should lead the way by mandating it in their rules and show how responsible we really are, it might even give us some leverage to bargain / negotiate for some other freedom / exemption that is really more important to us. .Ray

what a georgeous looking plane, Bring back the retro look I say:thumb_up:

Qwerty,

Now that you have let it all out re read the poll question. Should the carriage of a RADIO be mandatory. We are not advocating the carriage of ELT.

Maj, she'd want to be filthy rich...but even I wouldn't let you go there.

Great Question,

I would be keen to know myself

the RAA are doing the full report and that is not out yet.

Nor will it ever be. The way the RA-AUS hides it's accident reports is a joke.

Major,

Just go into town and find the best looking girl you can, say you are taking her for a short flight and just don't stop. Make sure you stay away from major towns and she will have two options walk or stay with you:wasnt me:

5)opinion (All Jabiru engines will suffer valve train failure).

".

Why do some people think you will stop looking around if you have a radio or think everyone else has one? Certainly I dont stop looking in a CTAF-R - actually more chance there someone is on the wrong channel. I look even harder around these locationsI reckon its out in open space where you unfortunately stop looking as hard.

There will always be failures, wrong channel etc etc but percentage wise there would be more active radios so an increase the awareness

 

Risk management is ALL about percentages, if they were mandated, even if poorly enforced, and it avoided one accident or even a near miss it would be worth it especially if it was me who nearly flew into you

 

JR

I second that to, perfectly written

After some recent threads I thought this might be a could poll to have,

New Members

The one thing I noticed on this poll is the amount of emphasis put on how long people have been a member of RA-AUS. Does it make the slightest difference, NO!!!

RA-AUS as an organisation wants to grow so it markets itself as a friendly self administered organisation yet when the new members that have joined have a say it gets pointed out that we havent been here since the early days so back off.

I believe everybody has the same right to an opinion and if there are people who don't want new members making a change for whatever topic,rule etc than close the doors and have it your way.

Here it is,

I think Crezzi and Captain summed it up perfectly. Thanks for your efforts chucky and all other volunteers but the 2007 airshow was GREAT so the organisers this year need to have a real big look at their efforts and put on a better show in 2011.

As captain said people won't accept a second rate experience twice.

Just out of interest could those of you who say radios are a must please state what type of aircraft you fly and how long you have been a member of the RAA.

And that is important why?
