Mark,
As you have probably observed all three current LOA's are with the
Melbourne Centre.
I will make a some enquiries with one of my old AsA colloquies and phone you
tomorrow.
My initial thoughts are it could be a good time to bring the not so recently
appointed GFA airspace
officer out of his shell, if I get involved I am sure it would be seen as
being interfering, particularly since
he was chosen over me (I was asked to withdraw my application) by the GFA
executives on the interview
panel.
