My question to Clare:
What is it that you are now doing, or doing better, that you would otherwise not have done, to the detriment of aviation safety, but for the Part 141 certification process?
Clare’s answer was:
There is no change to my operations compared to when I held an AOC.
Aussie Bob said:
I didn't write my operations manual, CASA did.
Whilst I’m sure there are many people who put a very low price on their time and many people who can tolerate pointless bureaucracy, many other cannot. More importantly: Objectively assessed, these examples show how much of the aviation ‘safety’ certification process has no causal connection with safety.
