Career opportunity: CASA CEO.
No regulatory experience or background required. Prefer bunny pilot background from an Australian airline environment.
Sought after qualifications:
1. Ability to dodge bullets, but when required, dedication to being pushed into the line of fire as a last defense when bullets heading at Minister after all subordinates have been exhausted.
2. Able to craft feel good
PR taglines to an overworked media that has no ability, time or resources to research the truth or otherwise of the statement/s.
3. Ability to baffle with bull**** most Senate inquiries.
Suit candidate retired from mainstream aviation who has no clue about regulatory requirements and who has an over-inflated opinion of his or her management capabilities.
Sheesh! A retired airline pilot who has absolutely no clue how rules are formulated, applied and subverted in practice. You don't put a taxi driver, truck driver, entrepreneur or business owner in charge of the police department. Why put a pilot in charge of CASA? But that hasn't stopped the practice in the past and probably won't change matters for the future.
