The consequence is that, instead of the light-touch regime we were promised, we will eventually get something that is not dissimilar in its requirements to the ATO but with a nominal 5 year oversight schedule to allow the CAA to manage with its current, inadequate bunch of inspectors.
Completely agree, the nonsense coming out of the UK CAA is simply astonishing!
