Apart from the 'emotive' issues discussed here,
(I'd love to insert - " It is an offence for any CASA Officer to attempt to intimidate any crew member of an aircraft at any time" - Penalty - immediate dismissal as deemed not suitable for the job of promoting 'Openness' and 'Safety'. )
The real question:-
Is / are any of the Aviation organisations taking this up with the 'Legal fraternity' / Politicians, with a view to rescinding these draconian attempts at what amounts to shutting down the Aviation industry - by the so called 'Safety Regulator' - who is supposed to be the 'SAFETY AUTHORITY' - NOT a policeman lurking with book in hand at every opportunity!!
Ovah...
