Fly By Nighters
Am I the only one disgusted with operators who come and go but while around undercut the imcumbents by stacking up debt then going insolvent and writing it off leaving the survivors to pay back debts they incurred to keep competitive. I know competition is good and have no problem with it but these guys undercut by not paying accounts,wages and fuel etc. then go insolvent only to start trading as another entity to do it all over again without being concerned by their previous errors. This has happened quite a few times lately and CASA and other government bodies allow it. While I'm having my whinge how can CASA allow operators who are obviously based here but register overseas so they can ignore the local rules and compete unfairly with operators who unlike them are audited regularly and made to jump through expensive hoops by CASA while they do what they want while mostly ignored by CASA.
