Can someone please explain to me why Peter Gibson,
PR from CASA keeps saying that CASA can only ground an airline for FIVE WORKING DAYS and then must go to the federal court to get an extension, when they grounded Tiger from 2300 Friday night until next Saturday at 0600.
Whichever way you look at it, that is seven days. Five WORKING (office wallah) days? Airlines are seven day businesses. If it is only FIVE then why are Sat & Sun added as well?
So why not have it take effect from Monday at 0600. I don't understand.
Secondly, Tony Davis has flown from Singapore to Melbourne for the sit down with CASA today, no press announcements other than on Saturday he said by phone that he disagreed with CASAs assessment. Does he disagree enough to see if he can get a judge to grant an injunction stopping CASA grounding them? Or is he worried that may upset the regulator?
Tiger have certainly gone to ground avoiding the media. No big ballsy statements and not returning calls from media outlets.
