Perhaps not, but CASA and DoT have the power to prosecute.

The airlines operate in a protected regulatory vacuum. The Launceston prosecution is one example, pilots prosecuted whilst the AOC holder, ultimately responsible, is protected.

An airline prosecution would destroy Australia's unblemished airline safety statistics.
