This will be the FOURTH licence I have to fork out for. Not to mention that STUPID green book which cost $10... and is now going to be useless (even more so!)
Q: ... why can't the background check/Fed Police check used for ASIC card also be used for new licence?
Q: ... what happens if we DON'T rush out and pay for a new licence ? I mean my current licence is "perpetually valid". Surely when something is valid "perpetually", then it can never be INVALID.. even if superceded?
Q: ... WHY do we have to pay a $50 bond for ASIC cards ? (my employer is making pilots pay, but saying that htey will cover the other cost [129]) ... very big of SACL considering that I have only had the card for 4 months,.... and now it is to be cancelled and reissued at extra charge.
Time to renegotiate our EBA methinks! ... mind you, I cannot recall ANYWHERE in the award where it says "pilots shall pay for ASIC cards" .
