Don't forget that these are all 'work related expences' to be claimed back at tax time.

Thats all great if you work in Oz. I work overseas for a crappy GA salary and keep my Aussie license current so when i do come home I dont have to go through all that again. Over the yrs the costs of renewals have gone up at a ridiculous rate and i was astounded last yr that i had to fork out nearly 700bucks and now this yr ill be pulling out close to a grand.. Bloody brilliant..
There are CAA's in Africa that are more efficient than CA$A, charge you 10bucks to put an endorsement and guess what it takes about 3 mins to do and print out same as in oz. Unless the price of paper, ink and electricity has soared to level where it costs the $130 to put an endo on your license i cant really see any cost recovery but a hell of a lot of profit..
I can see another europe happening here which is basically the end of GA and aviation only being for the rich not the real enthusiest..
