I believe that it will be very difficult for the cRudd Government and CASA to hide from the truth, especially after the Lockhart River accident. The interesting thing is the press release from the families associated with this tragic accident, which we know could have been prevented if CASA had followed its procedures and reviewed the airline in question.
I think CASA and its middle and senior managers will be in damage control mode and looking for ways to protect themselves, but the truth is this, somebody needs to go through CASA with the brush and get rid of the “dead wood” and also remove the “Old Boy” network. This would allow some fresh blood into the place. I see on PPRuNe that Canada has a problem with their aviation regulator.
I have to say that it’s SAD that CASA thinks that this statement will do anything:
“Teams will arrive unannounced at large and small aviation operations, aerodromes and airstrips to conduct checks, provide safety advice and investigate any breaches of the regulations,” a statement from CASA said.
Can somebody please tell CASA what “unannounced” means, as I do believe that they do not know, by the above statement, I’ll copy the meaning for them as from the on line Compact Oxford English Dictionary…..
1 not publicized. 2 without warning; unexpected
I believe the old boy network is in progress here, “Guys we are coming clean up your paperwork”…….. how much warning can you give and how blatantly do it as well, thinking we are that stupid that we do not know what they are doing………..
