................and the CASA CEO dodged the Senator's questions yesterday in relation to JQ's "application" to reduce the number of CC.
He stated that CASA had "approved it" but in the next sentences cautiously identified a volley of letters between the Regulator and JQ regarding the matter ....... then recanted to say there's still some work to do......
Bring on the safety case requirement in CAAP of the STILL to be introduced NRPM 20:16:3........ this will make all airlines put on discoverable record their formal risk assessment of the ability of CC to deliver fire/security/medical etc rather than just relying on, and hiding behind, manufacturers' "best day" evac tests.
QF with its rebirthing of NZ reg'd 737's, JQ's long list of safety indiscretions, DJ's safety shortcuts...inc the Junglejet R2 slide (which was unusable due to deployment angle but CASA gave them 12 months to fix).........it all adds up to a toxic regulatory environment that is weak and spells $afety with an $.

Is it true that JQ still don't carry defibs onboard?
