I once had enormous respect for Jeff.
Unfortunately he has squandered the opportunity this position presented with the ear of the minister and his background across GA and regionals.
A strong advocate for GA and regional aviation is not inconsistent with being Chair of CASA. Particularly someone who is intimate with both the regs and commercial reality of the industry.
Not to mention the conflict between his role as CASA Chair and his work representing the commercial interests of Flycorporate. It is sad to see him burn so much of his hard earned credibility over what is probably negligible self interest.
