Then, of course, there are always a steady flow of allegations of what is "favoritism", but sometimes probably bordering on low level corruption, where some operators (regarded by their peers as being rather spotty operators) seem to have a dream run, while their competitors are in never ending trouble.
Is this a failing of CASA where different inspectors or offices have differing views on an individual or operator for example. In previous threads numerous people have stated we do not have clear rules but 'opinions' open to interpretation. Clearer regulations and better training of staff would result in a more consistent approach. The FAA also has a rule to stop individuals dealing with previous employers (or other conflicts) for minimum of 2 years.
