Deeper, if their getting paid, it ain't private. Phone through some details to CASA and do the industry a favor please.
But then again...whilst on that subject, speaking with a FOI at yet another CASA audit at one of our bases, I asked him why the 'big boys' are almost continually audited and the operators such as the one Deeper pointed out, probably have never been.
He said those guys are just one up, and can only kill themselves. An interesting comment I thought. I half suspect it’s more a case of a lot of hard work to investigate, coo berate evidence, charge and prosecute, and for what gain? There's always another 50 pilots waiting in the wings to do it all again. Yep, too much time tied up not being seen. Easier to be out and about in capital city sipping on a Cafe Latté staying at Hilton on the Park and pointing out that paragraph 34 of Vol 10a of your ISO2004 ops manual is missing a full stop.
Have I been in this industry too long?
