Nowluke, you are either a troll or wilfully ignorant about the subject of risk. There are rigorous processes for managing risk available right now ((even from ICAO) that you do not seem to have any understanding of, or, like the regulator, CASA, you do know but prefer your own brand of self serving necromancy to established fact,
This rate is whatever is set by the regulator and it is the best that can be made with the scientific, not single expert, knowledge available".
There are current ICAO standards for the probability of death via aviation, there are also numerous actuarial metrics. From memory we are talking of the order of forty million to one. These are internationally accepted standards for risk. Neither CASA nor the AAT seems to make use of these datums which is a crime.
The proposal of "never tell anyone" about medical issues and describes an attitude of wilful violation of the broader safety system and a lack of integrity. The, "I know best" and "if you mention anything you'll be grounded" combination will undermine safety even when there isn't mistrust in the system- and there are no quick fixes when those under regulation actively undermine that system. It is also under-appreciated that the decisions that are made are in the broader public interest rather than the individual.
It's nowhere near perfect and people will be upset, your response to actively mismanage one's own occupational healthcare puts others lives, property and reputation at risk in a repugnant and self-indulgent way that no one would reasonably support.
Sanctimonious codswallop. The alleged "broader safety system" lacks even a shred of integrity as evidenced by the regularly reported bizarre behaviour of CASA staff including Avmed and despite the numerous pleadings, reviews and negotiations attempted by industry. Given that the system is broken there is no safety case to undermine.
As for your appeal to "the public interest" you must be joking. To educate you, any test of what "the public interest' is actually involves two components; the cost to the community of an event (a medical incapacitation causing an accident) versus
the cost to the community of mitigating the risk of said accident. IT IS THIS SECOND HALF OF THE EQUATION THAT IS NEVER CONSIDERED BY YOU AND CASA - AND THOSE COSTS ARE HORRENDOUS!!!!!
The result is a system of regulation that has destroyed thousands of jobs and billions in investment (let alone opportunity costs) without saving the community from any meaningful expense at all. So much for your notion of public interest. You have to take into account the cost to the community of regulation and this seems to have escaped both CASA and you. Again there are ICAO metrics and procedures available right now to do these calculations.
Other jurisdictions have considerably better and more relaxed regulatory environments. Their publics profit from it and their skies aren't raining aluminium either.
