CASA response to the ATSB report on Lockhart River

[triadic]

A pilot I used to fly with got a job as an FOI about a decade ago. I saw him about a year later and he said if he had his way he would go to work with a pair of bolt cutters and cut the wires to everyones PC and make them get out of the office and do what they are paid to do.

I saw him again recently and he says it has not got any better and the amount of time 'out of the office' is not enough to do the job, but the amount of admin and other BS keeps them inside without any admin help.

There are good people in CASA but the culture and their system is just not delivering the goods. Until that is addressed, I don't see change any time soon. (until the next inquiry, that is !)
