What everyone must understand is that the rest of the world knows nothing about aviation.
Only CAsA knows everything about aviation, same goes for standards, ours are way above anyone else in the world.
Thats why they make it so complicated to go overseas for training or recurrency because it levels the much cheaper costs offshore with the exorbitant charges of Australian monopoly providers.
It is an enigma though that they permit all these dodgy offshore pilots with dodgy instrument ratings, working for dodgy airlines, regulated by dodgy regulators, fly into and out of Australia under IFR, in vast numbers everyday. I thought at least in the interest of public safety if they wanted to fly here CAsA would insist they must be examined here.
