"The technical side (ATC, COMS and ANS) are the workhorse of the outfit."
Is the safety division a non technical department? The way I understand it, without the safety division there can be no ATC controlling the aircraft at all since they the safety division issues the airworthiness certificate, air operator certificate, pilots license, etc. after all. This is the main reason why Philippines was downgraded by the FAA to Category 2 due to the fact that the safety division was not capable of doing its safety oversight to philippine aviation. The FAA audit was mainly focus on the requirements of ICAO Annex 1, 6 and 8 only, which in my opinion are the responsibility of the safety division.
I guess all the people at CAAP should work together to ensure that the leaders they place at CAAP should be those who deserve it. Do employees at CAAP have the courage to voice these matters to the government since they already know what is really going on within CAAP?
