If the proposed new requirement is a better method, system or way of doing business then you have all been hoodwinked as CASA do not introduce workable systems!
It sounds more like they have decided to dig into the recycle bin, pull a few old ideas or discussion papers out from a few years ago, dust them off, put the word out on the street, employee a few consultant mates or keep a few of the crusty old c
ts employed a little longer by throwing the thought around! Hell, the formation of a working group is likely and a couple of trips to Montreal or the USA is definitely on the cards, especially for all the pensioners running the joint. Oh the taxpayer kitty is so deep, decisions decisions, which bucket of money do we raid this time, which unnecessary trip abroad to go on this time, more troughs please, quickly quickly our snouts are dry, quick quick more troughs!!
And speaking of troughs, rumour has it that 15 of them attended the recent safe skies seminar (safe skies should be used loosely) in Canberra, most stayed at the luxurious $650 starting price per night Hyatt Canberra (Presidential suite spooning perhaps) and the cost of their sojourn was huge!
(jeez those taxpayers are kind).
One can imagine the old CASA executive geezers/washed up pilots strutting around in grey suit pants and tweed jackets, hypothesizing about safety matters and 'best practise models' while wetting the ends of a juicy stoogie and measuring each others pee pee's.
Hell I would even bet their flag poles rose to half mast as they sat in the auditorium idolizing ICAO and the FAA while clinging to any crumb that fell from the safety table, that they could digest and then regurgitate to industry as their own idea.
