Creamie...thanks. You've said it "the outcome makes no difference to me"
That puts you really OFF the slate.
So,... never been a shaftee...you have never have to undergo the stress, financial and mental, trauma,etc.. of having to deal with the derogatory comments, lies and bull!!!!!, and trumped up charges put about by CASA persons on a "kill" mission.
If you aint been a victim then you have ABSOLUTELY NO idea.
Its not a very balanced equation when CASA control freaks with endless $$s for legals and courts, give combat to individuals, small businesses and pensioners even.
And for what end? Conform with the CASA "Code of Conduct", about fairness, integrity, honesty, CAC Act , MLD and etc. do they?
All for the Holy Grail of "safety"
Dont make me weep tears of piss..FFS its all about the bully boys/whole rotten system showing who's fcuking the cat.

And the taxpayer pays their bills ... and the outcome for aviation is,?... well, they really dont give a !!!!! one way or the other.
Tell an AWI who has made a wrong call to FCUK OFF... and all hell breaks loose. You then face criminal charges ... and they havent even done a frigging investigation yet, but their whole !!!!!show is full of holes and the end result is SFA/Nix /Nought. At GREAT cost to the taxpayer.
Who cares? CASA doesnt give a rats.

But I do.
And as I and others have said before, the totally outrageous punitive approach to aviation "safety" just DOESNT work.
Its just madness for this vital industry to be continually suffering the Butsons, JQ, and others. For why???
Something has to give.
CP you have the right to comment, BUT. You DONT have the RIGHT (?) experience.
We do, unfortunately.
