If Aerotropics has been breaking the rules for the last 12 months, why hasn’t there been an administrative fine?
I understood that the plan of the administrative fine system was to give people a chance, then fine them if they didn’t comply, and this worked together with a point system. Then rather than having to go through the discredited system of closing an airline down as the first action, at least CASA could say to the court and to the media, “This company has already had 6 fines and has accumulated so many points.”
Could it be that no administrative fines have been given because it would open up such a can of worms (in relation to the lack of regulatory reform) that CASA still goes to the old discredited Seaview and Monarch system of doing nothing for a year or so, then attempting to close the whole operation down?
