I am. Australia and Canada have pretty much the same aviation safety records. Pretty much the same Pilot and LAME requirements. Pretty much the same Pilot and Engineering pay-scales. They are both prosperous first world countries that adhere to aviation regulations.
So what the flying duck is CASA's problem? Oh wait we have to have our Christmas booze-up and play lots of golf and porn, and THEN we'll sign off what we were meant to now, in January. This is beyond a joke. Thousands of working class Australians left stranded and out of pocket. As for the poster that called Bonza a mickey mouse monkey operation, it's a SME Startup, Duh. They listened to Tony Fernandes, only way to break into the aussie market.
Good on the Flair Pilots and Cabin Crew though, enjoy the GC and down south beaches!
