I believe one of the greatest concerns was the fact that so many delegations were issued to the industry, as opposed to having true and proper examiners of airmen.......testing airmen.
Aagh yes, that old chestnut. Perhaps the issue is more like
'there were no control measures in place oversighting and tracking industry delegates'? If the Senator digs into this he will find out exactly what the issue was and why it became so out of hand, it's all there, he just needs to look. And they croon about 'worlds best practise' and being a 'robust' regulator? Spare me, incompetence is their middle name.
So many industry delegates? And why is that? Who is responsible for the farce that existed for decades? Wait for it, those same 'powers to be' and a#sclowns are still part of CASA's group of 'faceless men' decades later. Unless Xenaphon brings out a mighty big fuc#ing broom with a tonne of support behind him he is wasting his time and energy.
