Creampuff, I am an inexperienced PPL with no commercial ambitions. I am aware that there are "colorful" aviation characters that must be a pain in the backside for CASA to have to deal with. I have limited exposure to CASA and all my interactions with them have been good.
Nevertheless, I have had some administrative experience gained in a business career endiing up as CEO of a firm, and what I see of CASAs characteristics, if only a fraction of what I read is true is, to put it mildly, alarming.
