CASA, Problems and Misfeasance

CASA and problems? Misfeasance?
YES - Deal with the problems and get a fair deal for all aviation.
Remember:

• The mess CASA caused with the fuel "crisis";
• The CASA/Mobil cover-up for the 2 years preceding the ultimate grounding of some 7,000 G.A. [General Aviation – Avgas aircraft];
• CASA’s prevention of the ACCC enquiry into the AvGas Contamination.
• The initial sacking of M. Toller in 2003 transformed to a resignation to avoid those awkward questions and the “Golden Handshake”;
• The replies to urgent queries from Industry that often take years to receive;
• The refusals by McCormick to personally see pilots or operators;
• A bully doesn’t like confrontation by others and will therefore be selective in who he/ she sees.
• The blunt refusal by McCormick to answer serious matters in the Senate;
• The refusal by McCormick to answer Senator's questions;
• The selective grounding of Tiger Airlines for alleged risk, whilst the National Icon had aircraft "dropping" from the sky;
  
• The SDR [serious defect reports] notifications that are just ignored, yet affect over 200 aircraft in just one case;
• The refusal to generally support pilots, yet some are favoured?;
• The refusal to support operators unless there are links to CASA;
• Bullying and harassment of staff across Australia;
• The CASA HR [Human Resources] complicit in protecting bullies in the workplace, by their selection process more or less encouraging the bully image;
• The "Industry Complaints Commissioner" who refuses to answer questions independently;
• The "Industry Complaints Commissioner" who refuses to answer questions over a large range of issues;
• The removal of a former Industry Complaints Commissioner who dared to be independent;
• The interference by CASA in the100% independent operations of the Commonwealth ombudsman;
• CASA just wave the safety banner, in order to justify decisions or direction to parliament or the Senate committees;
• The use of "legal force" in pursuing people for infringement enforcement of misdemeanors, when these could be dealt with on an amicable basis;
• As with all government instrumentalities the CASA is to act as THE Model Litigant;
• Being the model litigant, does not imply withholding pertinent evidence, perjury fabrication of facts after the alleged event, or continuing prosecution until the victim is physically & financially broken and the business extinct. This is akin to rendition;
• The CASA consistently demonstrate that they misuse the tools [Regulations, legal resources, Exemptions etc] available to them;
• The CASA use of a pilot's need for instant decision-making in any connived/ altered/ corrupt or contempt of Court hindsight, to prosecute CASA's cause in an adversarial manner.
• The CASA conivance to make the cost of going to the AAT expensive and in most cases, unbearable;
• The AAT is designed to be inexpensive, but legal fees, the loss of income and business because of the deliberate drawing out of events spells the demise of most adversaries.
• The FOI's who have incorrect "views" or say “I believe”, thereby avoiding perjury or robust queries;
• The "Rules" in Australia - Instead, we have "Opinions"/ interpretations, depending on the FOI of the day;
• The CASA supervises deliberately complex regulations;
• Regulations are simply added to instead of there being a proper revision
• Regulations are open to multiple interpretations, even within CASA.
• No pilot or operators can guess at the desired outcome.
• Despite parliamentary advice to the contrary, CASA instead of being a Safety regulator knowingly bases many of its directions and orders on a [Commercial] basis and outcome;
• The manufacturing of "evidence", to support CASA/ FOI allegations;
• CASA Cost Recovery???
• Cost recovery has always existed in the form of the Fuel Excise.
• The inordinate growth of CASA with all of its reincarnations;
• The hidden impost of Consultant services;
• The CASA employees earning more as consultants and who often dismissed from their former employment for unsuitability, are now in positions of “ expert” authority;
• The selective use and blindness to any evidence that doesn't support the CASA to a pre determined outcome.
• The investigators protecting CASA, rather than looking at investigations objectively from all sides.
• The 23 years and around $200 mill to re-write the Regulations;
• Incomplete regulation re-write - Judge Staunton requirement after SeaView disaster;
• The continued improper use of CASR 206 by CASA - [2011 - Caper v CASA]; and many others before; [Toller 2001 – 206 is “... a bad law”]
  
• The CASA does not provide timely, accurate and useful responses to enquiries;
• The CASA does not meet the published standards of service memorandum [7-day reply time frame];
• The CASA improper or un-timely promulgation of AD's;
• The CASA mis-use of Exemptions to Regulations;
• STRICT LIABILITY–only applies to the ENEMY sorry “Clients”

CASA is the house of double standards and inconsistency.

Any more??, please PM me and I will attach in this post, so that all are together.
