One of the reasons that Glens case sparked my support is this happened to me in a very similar way over a decade ago. A veiled threat of if he stays then the action will proceed, if he goes then the action goes. Personal vendettas SHOULD NOT BE tolerated in a regulatory body (by the way I left and so did the companies CASA problem).
Go get ‘em Glen! Like the current pilot shortage is real I don’t think anyone has built such a strong case against CASA.
Civil Aviation Safety Authority still the best oxymoron!
(note many times I have stated that it was the extreme small minority that are the cancer of this place, I have nothing but huge praise and thanks for the majority of the good guys and gals).
