When will the UK's CAA close?
Now that European aviation falls under the jurisdiction of an EU regulator (EASA) national aviation regulators have become redundant. The UK's CAA has been reduced to nothing more than a group of taxpayer funded pencil-pushing parasites. This is the sort of expensive taxpayer funded duplication that we have in Canada where the federal government has created departments/ministries that cover areas that fall under provincial jurisdiction. Is the UK (and the rest of Europe) going the same way?
Why should UK taxpayers continue to fund its redundant CAA? Now that it is no longer needed the CAA should be closed down and its employees given the opportunity to find jobs where they can make a genuine contribution to the UK's economy instead of being a drain on it. Is there any movement for this to happen?
