(a-g) Differences in airfares were due to flight availability. All police airwing pilots must attend annual refresher emergency flight training. There are only 2 emergency flight training centres worldwide, one in Germany and one in Dallas, that have the Airbus approved flight simulator. The pilots attended and completed trainining between 29 Oct and 5 Nov 24 inclusive at the Dallas facility. Between 26-28 Oct 24, the police pilots travelled from Perth to Dallas. From 6-8 Nov, J Hall travelled from USA to Perth. From 10-12 Nov, D Craven & R Lilley travelled from USA to Perth. D Craven & R Lilley took annual leave, where no travel allowances were claimed during that period.
