We all know it's about liability, but that is NOT the same thing as safety. Using safety as the justification is a cop-out, so call them out on it. Ask them to show you the CASA discussions they refer to. If they can't, ask CASA whether there are any new rules that they have made that warrant this sort of response. Keep following the trail.

Sometimes just asking the question, in a reasonable way, and remaining calm and logical, and continuing to escalate until you reach someone who can give you an answer, can have results.
