Lusimtingting. Well, I'll be darned. Someone told me Sluggo was there too.
bentandtwister. I know one CASA office who, sensibly, "authorised" about 80 ALA's for the purpose of conducting very remote area RPT operations, whilst another CASA office refused a similar authorisation to conduct remote area RPT/Mail Services and indeed, tried to ground every operator for conducting similar essential remote area services, eventually causing mayhem.
About the only correct assumption by many CASA officers is that "Australian skies will not be safe until every aircraft is grounded."
