I hear that all the experienced (read: WM) people at CAA's contracts have been cancelled.
Apparently the new head of Part 121 Operations is a 200-hour (BF) Comm pilot. Apparently less than zero knowledge of airline operations - example: she interrogated one of the airlines' chief pilots about their de-icing procedures in JNB and argued with him when he told her that de-icing isn't done in JNB!
Scary stuff.
