For your conspiracy theory to have any credence, all 29 issuing bodies would collectively have to be contributing to the "coffers of selected people". News flash! it is not just Aviation ID Australia who issue ASICs to GA and other industry participants.
Have you even LOOKED at the 29 issuing bodies YPJT? 20 of them are Airports and Companies that will only issue to people using their Airport/Company specifically/only or only their own employees. 1 of the 29 on that list is CASA who are about to go. That actually leaves 7. I'm not talking about the other 6 here, I'm saying why is it that just 1 of them have been handed all this extra business on a silver platter? If someone can find a Tender process for this I'll be surprised.
Also why is Aviation ID Australia their choice of Third Party Provider? This isn't some "wacky conspiracy theory" I'm here to spout, it's just good old fashioned greed.
Also out of those 7 they included Melbourne Airport, Newcastle Airport, Brisbane Airport whom I honestly would not have thought to go to directly and would surprised if they would so now we have 4 being Aerodrome Management Services Pty Ltd, Airport Security, Aviation ID Australia and Veritas. AMS requires you to do an interview at Perth or Jandakot so that rules out a large number of Pilots, so really means there's 3, not 29.
