A blood letting?
Perhaps the blowtorch has been turned up a notch, hence these regulatory experts ‘leaving’ their bubble, their protected CASA cocoon. As has been pointed out already, and as many people know, Mr Aleck is the architect of all things putrid. A little bearded weasel of a human being who likes to appear dottery like an innocent old man. Far from it. He is the reason CASA is the way it is today. Unless ‘Pip’ cuts off the snakes head, nothing will change. He is the last major piece that needs unthroning. Then start afresh at the top and middle tiers, a new day dawns. After the management structure has been revamped, then adopt the Kiwi regs and we are well on our way to normality. Should take 4 years to do if it is done correctly. It’s better than the lame **** Regs and Civil Aviation Act that we have today, considering that work on the Regs commenced in 1988 and it still not finished today, regardless of what big ears Carmody said last year. Lies lies lies.
Glen, I reckon you have finally rattled the CASA cage. These people are not leaving just because you have been asking for them to be dealt with. Crawford was A/g DAS/CEO recently and Martin was promoted not that long ago, so technically they have been climbing the ladder to lofty heights. A sudden departure would not have been part of their normal annual performance appraisal process. No, they have been boned because some very highly ranked bureaucrats are becoming uncomfortable, most likely because of what their Barristers are telling them. And I reckon the PMC are also starting to feel a little heat and they aren’t too pleased about that. Keep that blowtorch alight Glen!
