Suggestion of suitable replacement
There is a significant pool of talent within CASA.
Due to the Pandemic, there is also an enormous pool of aviation talent available.outside of CASA.
I hope that the Deputy PM who is responsible for CASA recognizes that fact, and takes advantage of this unique opportunity to "update" the organization with a few changes of key personnel in the CASA executive.
A very real opportunity sits before the Deputy PM. Bow to the pressure of a Royal Commission or simply instigate change and employ personnel that can deliver professionalism. The change of less than 5 staff, replaced by "new blood" may well achieve more than a Royal Commission.
Horrible time to be "resigning" though. Nota lot of aviation jobs around.
