This proposal is just a diversion tactic to split the gathering opposition to CASA. RAAus, thinking that they have had a win, will want the CASA status quo to remain. They might even thank CASA for their cooperation and support in a press release. They will be much less vocal in supporting the reform initiatives being pushed by AOPA, to the detriment of everyone. CASA will be able to use this support to deflect the gaze of the politicians.
A few years down the track, once the heat has died away, nothing will change. The new rules will go through endless industry consultation, legal rewriting and the revolving door of CASA staff changes and will bear no resemblance to that proposed in the first post of this thread. It will probably be done as an exemption with an expiry data and significant limitations and restrictions...
