You are of course correct, SIUYA. The CASA “action” is to produce spin.
In fairness to Jeff, there’s not much the Chairman of CASA can do. All you need to do is spend 5 minutes reading the Civil Aviation Act to work that out.
The Chair can call meetings of the Board and, if the Chair is presiding at a meeting, has a deliberative vote and, if necessary, a casting vote. If anyone reckons that’s a position with power single-handedly to change the world of aviation regulation, I have some shares in the Harbour Bridge on sale.
Even if the Board voted unanimously in favour of any and every motion Jeff put forward, the Board doesn’t have power to change the Civil Aviation legislation.
