I think it is a little pointed to target bean counters in respect to their ability to run an airline commercially as well as meeting all of the requirements of CASA.
Perhpas if their had been a bit more bean counting, Ansett may not have been forced into administration. Casa only needs to be satisfied that during the currency of an AOC the AOC holder is able to meet all of the requirements of the approved manuals and that appropriatley qualified and experienced personal are in place to perform the necessary functions. A good manager can many any business including complex Airlines. Let's give the new AN#2 all the support and ensure they do not fail.
