Rumour has it that the Townsville office does have problems and that Bruce Byron and John Anderson are aware of the problems and the offenders.
A Royal Commission into this Office and CASA generally in how they conduct their role in putting operators out of business at their whim would indeed prove interesting.
( Ord Air Charter, Yanda Airlines, UZU Airlines, Whyalla Airlines, Sea View Airlines, Kackeroo Aviation, Ansett Airlines , Schutt Aviation and others too numerous to mention, additionally the malicious and vindictive attempts on Midstate, Cape York and others still happening?)
However, such is wishful thinking.
However, the industry at large do communicate with each other and there are serious concerns with the Townsville office and it's conduct towards industry.
There is a new manager installed by Byron, but he will be meet the same fate as his predecessors and be shafted from below.
Unless of course he is particularly astute and if Byron has empowered him to fix the problems.
At least the industry has seen some fairness displayed by this office, rumour has it that three of it's own staff were bastardised just as severely by the offender just as have some selected operators been bastardised by the offender.
An allegedly "independant" report has been concluded, guess what the outcome was ? sorry, no prizes.
Then again, maybe all this is myth and rumour.
