I share your concern Creampuff for the following reasons.
CASA has been spruking about quality improvements for ages now, yet the basis for their processes is way out of date, flawed and provides little in the way of sound infrastructure on which to base contemporary quality improvements and measurements. The RRP became a political hot potato with DS. What a shame!
I hope the RRP commences again soon and with the needed high level CASA and government support. It should be a top priority that if done correctly, will facilitate future improvements to Australian aviation.
CASA will continue to just muddle along while the organization relies on outdated regs. The organization's rhetoric on quality will be just that - rhetoric - unless there are changes to the regs.
