In between all the banter, I think the real issue here is the industry protecting itself from fraudulent documentation.
It has been challenged and to a degree addressed in the aircraft parts supply chains, but where is the technology for licencing and certification?
I know when Ansett went bust and the administrators cleaned out the Ansett Training Centre at the Astrojet Centre hundreds and hundreds of blank training certificates were dumped.
Many of the blanks were bundled up by the people working there, but where are those blank certificates now?
And would you know if you were presented an original?
