I have no difficulty with fast track approvals. I also believe in what is best for the Group. But process and procedure must be matched experience. The Ansett B747 introduction is an good example of CASA not provideing the correct oversight of a "Gung Ho" (but great blokes)operations team. One or two of the CASA inspectors in the melbourne office should have good recall of that incident.

I would think CASA will have difficulty if what you say about NTL maint control is spot on. JQ can outsource the maintenance work. They cannot outsource their authority.
