Clinton: in the light of all that has been said on this post, can you tell me:
Is there anyone at all in CASA who can look me in the eye and state that their time in CASA has done anything good for general aviation in this country?
Is the anyone who has activly tried to expand the industry? Anyone who has tried to increase the number of operators or the number of GA aeroplanes in Australia?
Anyone who has tried to expand employment opportunities?
Anyone who has suggested that we need more Australian students and more flying schools?
Or is leglislation, policing and the ever increasing rule book all you folk aspire to in your careers? Do you care that it now takes up to 2 years to get an AOC? That casual employment is all but a thing of the past? That the number of small flying schools has decreased markedly in the last decade?
How good could general aviation be if CASA activly tried to expand the industry?
