Nope. You're mixing up ops specs. I work for a legacy carrier. We have one AOC in state of registry. We comply with relevant ops specs in other countries. We do not have 40+ AOCs. Should we cease operations immediately?
And does the “legacy carrier” for whom you work operate non-Australian registered aircraft in to and out of Australia, Consol? If yes, it holds an AOC issued by CASA.
Lookleft: If you could just try to set aside your blind prejudice for a moment, you might see that there may be systemic issues at play here: Systemic issues for which the operator is supposed to be responsible and CASA is supposed to be concerned. What else is the air operator certification process for? The apparent failure to do a proper pre-flight inspection is one thing. The crew’s decision making and communications after the consequences of the failure manifested themselves are another. The latter worry me much more than the former. But no doubt you can’t help yourself but disagree, because you don't like the messenger. You need to try to move on.
