As has been explained or observed before, there seems to be serious problems within CASA
and they appear to be more manifest in the North Queensland Area Office.

The Director has to contend with numerous problems and has attempted reform.
He has, however, encountered the informal power subcultures that exist,
and their propensity to collectively unite, resist and ignore him.

He has identified some, but not all subcultures, and taken the necessary hard line
to exterminate the leaders of the counter culture when they became identifiable.

The three Head Office sackings are testimony to that decisive action.

Yes, CASA may need to destroy itself in order to rebuild into a trustworthy, professional and ethical regulator.
This appears to be what the Keewee's have accomp[lished.

NZ deteriorated to a similar stage to where we have managed, then rebuit from the ground up.
The result is a robust and growing Aviation Industry that mocks the decline of Australian Aviation.

So if we need to go through the pain of such a rebirth, such a high velocity culture change, then so be it.

Informal power structures exist within CASA and effectively inhibit the reformation of the proper formal power structure.

Byron, if he wasn't aware before, is certainly aware now.

He will, with help, identify and neutralise those informal bastions of resistance.

The OLC, for instance, may indeed have such a subculture thriving within,
growing comfortable with doing things their way, rather than considering how they need to be done.

The use of the cryptic and the metaphor are often necessary tools to point the Director into areas that may need scrutiny.

Evil does lurk within the corridors of power and always will.
Curtailing it or controlling it will assist the reform process.

If you, as you have previously claimed, are on the outside looking in, i.e. not in the industry or the regulator,
you will ultimately benefit, as a bizpax, from the rebirth of CASA into an ethical and accountable organisation.

Be assured that the truth will ultimately and always prevail.

Byron will reform CASA, or will be seen as yet another highly paid failure, a long list indeed.

If something is happening in Townsville, that can only be good news,
unless Pinnochio has been elevated to TLFO, that would be a tragedy and perpetuate the problems of old.

One can only hope that the long time protector of the miscreants has finally been identified and disciplined.

And finally, let's hope the AM NQAO survived the tribal council.

He is needed elsewhere in CASA if he managed to effect genuine reform in Townsville.
He has a lot more similar work lined up for him.

explanation proffered and ended.
