It is a fact that Glens business model only works because of CAsA's amateurish, inane regulations and the massive costs it places on industry and good on him for seeing an opportunity and devising a sensible way to share the costs burden. What I find unconscionable is CAsA leading him up the garden path knowing he was expending his capital, then pulling the rug out from under him by devious and underhanded tactics. That is just diabolically unethical.
Thorn bird, I reckon you have summarised the situation exceptionally well - it is indeed appallingly unethical and a crying shame to see someone who has worked so hard, in good faith, to be destroyed like this. A more professional, committed and caring individual you won’t come across, than Glen. I believe he genuinely started this venture to create a solid business that helped everyone out.
