CASA is prohibited from issuing an AOC to ‘Tesna’, unless CASA is satisfied that Tesna has among other things “a sufficient number of suitably qualified and competent employees to conduct or carry out the AOC operations safely”. (see section 28 of the CAAct; bolding added)
How can CASA have already reached the requisite satisfaction in relation to that criterion, when ‘Tesna’ is yet to decide how many people it can and will employ?
And keep a close eye on those corporate peas and thimbles folks: the ‘Tesna’ that wants to be assigned the SACL terminal leases is not the ‘Tesna’ that CASA’s already decided is going to get an AOC.
Statorblade: I think you’ll find that at least the reports of what is being said in the court are very accurate. By the way, did you intend the exquisite ambiguity in your oxymoron: the truth lies elsewhere?
