I started this thread to thank an authority that we all thought was maybe toothless.
As some people have stated a lot of people are out of work as a result of this action by C.A.S.A but until this matter is ratified by the appropriate sources these poor people will continue to suffer. To the sufferers the smoking wreck on the ground would be your worst nightmare. It will certainly take you all a long time to recover financially. We all know you worked hard but your superiors just let you down without you knowing it.
Pilots who fly for TIGER ( or did fly } can be assured that their frustrations which were ignored are now out in the open.
Nothing but a major Government Enquiry that would be released to the general public will inform the rest of us just what C.A.S.A has on paper in the form of incident reports.
The next few days will tell just how far this situation will last. The TIGER people from the top management are in the country on their knees if front of C.A.S.A begging for an end to this situation. In the meantime QANTAS and VIRGIN and others are reaping the benefit.
Hopefully those who have been stood down will be able to return to a
SAFER operation in the near future.
