UZU has already applied for summonses requiring CASA personnel to be present at the hearing. This means they will almost certainly be called upon to give evidence and to face cross-examination.
CASA tried every trick to avoid this - I don't think they wanted Assistant Director "Mumbles" cross examined!
To clarify, whilst Uzu Air's AOC was restored and they were awarded one of the first "low capacity RPT" AOC's by the Director of CASA personally at Horn Island, 66 days grounding and the loss of over $300,000 took their toll and the company was eventually voluntarily wound up for financial reasons. (Even then, vindictive forces within CASA tried to embarrass the Director for "taking control of an aircraft", a totally fallacious accusation).
Exactly what it appears a totally unaccountable CASA are now trying to do to Glen Buckley.
As a CASA FOI (one of the honest guys!) mentioned to me at the time
"If CASA was required to hold an AOC it would have been cancelled years ago!"
