The CASA inspectorate are so under resourced that you can’t afford to pursue a complaint that has insufficient evidence to support it. I am not saying that there aren’t dinosaur inspectors still out there that might try to bluff and bludgeon an operator but they are usually lazy bastards too and eventually discover the futility of pushing a false argument. ( I managed to weed out one or two during training)
If you are from Brisbane, the QLD CAsA staff are far better than many in Australia.
They actually now look after several interstate/territory company's due complaints.
