Contractors etc
Clare Prop, bending back to the thread, CASA itself employs contractors.
Very importantly in this instance it was the outside lawyer’s advice that put CASA straight. Incredible when you think on the facts that CASA with its own expensive legal department couldn’t read their own regulations and have made such a muck up all over the place.
There are multitudes of other professions involving safety where contracting is commonplace where standards are acceptable.
In another instance CASA contracted John King of King’s Schools to advise on training reforms. He stated that some 70% of USA pilots were taught by individual instructors, or groups of instructors in business together, outside of their Part 142/142 system. Of course this ‘free enterprise’ type of environment did not impress CASA and so more wasted time and money down the drain. CASA pressed on with its impossibly complex rules that are directly leading to CASA’s vicious treatment of Glen Buckley.
I think to support Glen and GA we should concentrate on persuading government to intervene with a fair compensation package.
And at the same time press for a Department of Aviation and CASA disbandment.
