This document needs an executive summary. Less is more. While I know not the truth of your allegations, you need a one pager (no more) that looks something like the following. A journalist can then pick up your case quite easily and perhaps write about it.:


Glen Buckley built an aviation training business (APTA) on a franchise model that enabled widely dispersed small flying schools to meet new and expensive administrative and safety requirements of CASA. The APTA franchise business model allowed small schools to comply with the new standards in a cost effective manner, by adopting the APTA systems and methods.

CASA worked with APTA in developing and establishing its suite of systems and procedures with the intention of ensuring that they exactly met CASA requirements. CASA professed itself more than satisfied with both the development process and the product which APTA. At all times CASA knew that APTA was employing a franchise business model and that the systems and processes CASA approved would be "rolled out" to participating flight schools. The use of such a franchising business model in flight training was not a new development and CASA has and still does permit such arrangements prior to APTAs initiative.

APTA subsequently enrolled XX schools in the program, employing yy staff and students and training ZZ pilots.

On (date) without warning, CASA suddenly reversed its attitude to APTA, declaring its business model illegal, destroyed the business and those of its customers, abusing it's owner and proceeded to drive him out of the Aviation industry. There is no lawful basis to justify any of these actions, let alone the tactics used to achieve this result.

Mr. Buckley now seeks redress.
