The (Q)ALAEA needs to get back in their box too. They are not doing themselves any favours at the moment....
So when do you suggest the ALAEA come out of the box, when (if) there is a smoking hole in the ground?
Maybe if the ALAEA did something serious about the disgraceful General Aviation Award, they might just attract some members back into the fold!
If they also took the cudgels to CASA and its political masters about the appalling back sliding, procrastination and other BS that has held up proper reform of the Regulations for the past decade +, more people would take them seriously. Instead, Australia has become a backwater for LAMEs
If the ALAEA is so keen to be in the media to push their point of view, why wasn't the disgraceful antics of AMSA that have come to light in recent weeks publicised? A major Asian airline has been lobbying the Federal Government for some years now for fifth freedom rights, but its engineering subsidiary thinks it's ok to trample all over Immigration rules to bring their own people in, because it is cheaper than employing and training locals.
Until the ALAEA gets serious about doing something constructive with the
real problems that LAMEs in Australia face, they've lost my support.
Ok. Rant over.....
