Pride and Prejudice
Ben
As you can see from my posts, I do not hold much for the direction the CAA is going but ...
Don't let your prejudice get in the way of slagging well qualified staff who incidently don't have much say over what is going on in the CAA.
The Head of Ops (from Botswana) is an ATPL 4-engined jet Captain - certainly qualified by my books
The Head of Airworthiness (from Zimbabwe) is a qualified and experienced AME and holds a MA in Aeronautical Science from France - more qualifications than the DCA ever had.
The Commissioner from Lesotho- not Acting CEO - (See my previous post on that clown) holds a CPL and Air Traffic qualifications from Embry Riddle - your part of town and has extensive experience in aviation regulation.
The question is whether these folk can ever be effective in the environment that exists in the CAA at present is highly questionable. There are ample cases where there decisions are over turned by some clown above!
