Has CASA Lost The Plot
100.66
Our new regulations have arrived and, after the fact, we are all finding out just exactly what they mean.
Everyone was told what was involved, and how they could object.
It was what they didn't say, that is the problem now.
CASA and the Australian Licensing System, was, in the past, the most respected system in the world.
You could convert your Australian L.A.M.E. license to a license, anywhere else in the world where you wanted to go.
The difference in these modern times is that a CASA license now, according to global standards, is not worth the paper that it is printed on.
An A license, is truly a COMPANY license, which will not be recognized anywhere but Qantas.
The people who are GIVEN these licenses by Qantas will have no future, apart from the company which they work for now.
It will never become convertible
CASA have been bought, and are being run as a subsidiary of Qantas.
I know a person who reported to CASA, who signed off on Qantas/CASA audits on a daily basis, who could no longer play the game because of his conscience, and ended up leaving Qantas to gain his sanity.
We have come, from being a globally respected company and regulator, to the laughing stock of the world.
How has this happened.
It is apathy, or deviousness, or a bit of both.
