I mentioned this to a friend who works as a security guard at Perth, and she said that they are being sluged $50 for their ASIC cards now.
Asked CASA about the `sports aviation' bit. Bottom line is, if you have a CASA licence, you will be hit for $200. Including SPLs!! Also said there is meant to be a full briefing paper out in the first quarter, not holding his breath I suspect though!
So why does it cost an extra $150 to issue a SPL to a 16yo girl still at school, over the $50 for a full time employed rent-a-thug?
