Torres, quite so. One would think that the accused’s day in court would provide equitable justice – but why is it taking so damned long? Surely Creampuff or some other person trained in the law must be able to explain to us how it could take five years, and how it could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars?
There must be something going on behind the scenes, and surely that is the type of situation PPRuNe should expose.
No, we don’t want to second guess the court system, but we want to know why such a simple claim made by CASA (i.e. pilots taking off with the lights turned off) cannot be sorted out in court in a reasonable period.
This seems like the David Hicks situation all over again. He has been locked up for five years without even a charge now, and that is what 76% of Australians are concerned about. Most of us have no views on the guilt or innocence of David Hicks - we just think that an ally of ours should be able to sort out the issue within a five year period.
Surely the same must be said for an action taken by CASA against Qantas pilots.
