Horatio, I'm waiting for the bloke we spoke of to give me a call back, will let you know...
As to the topic of the thread, from what I understand those hardworking FOI's can have the paperwork out of their office very quickly, to then have the process almost effectively stalled by the OLC getting stuck on the wording... and then the see-saw starts between the offices. We had to eventually get the CASA ombudsman involved to the point of pointing out that the OLC's glacial pace was causing significant financial hardship to the company's continued (RPT AOC) operations and that CASA was leaving their fly undone for us to seek damages if it continued at that pace.
The Ombudsman agreed and within the week we had the approvals on the C+T's licence.
