I have written countless personal letters citing examples and my own personal ‘experiences’ on the line with certain third world operators. I have got workshopped answers to all letters. I have spoken/written to senior members of the industry being regulatory, political, operational, legal and so on. All responses claim investigations have taken place, heightened checks are underway.
My conclusion is a banning or termination of certain a foreign operators license is purely because the government does not want these countries offside. Trade deals are ahead of lives and our safety.
They are a danger to themselves, but more a danger to other pilots in our airspace. I want them out. Nobody seems to care.
