Clipboard, how true your statements are. I have chatted to some of the locals and still no news yet from Eurocopter in the industry – appalling to say the least. As for CAA, the ‘groot baas’ is becoming mighty unpopular as people seem to realise more and more that CAA are just a bunch of useless individuals only willing to exercise any authority when it comes to covering their own fat asses, plane and simple window dressing, that’s what it is. CAA should start considering being more active nationally amongst the operators and pilots and addressing the real issues that need addressing; anyway I suppose that time is spent on doing factory courses paid for by the bigger companies and talking kak about this debate in the pub, boet.
As for me and the rest of the aviators, we know where we stand now! Hey, anyone heard anything yet blah blah blah; sure !
