Oh dear.

Looks like yet another rearrangement of the deck chairs.

When will they realise that the problem lies in CASA taking on too many roles with absolutely no accountability with standards being whatever the local office thinks they should be.

Which court is going to ratify any suspension? Please do not tell me that the AAT provides an appropriate court of review if an AOC is suspended. Firstly, in that court it is up to the holder to show that the suspension was not justified, in other words you have to prove a negative.

Secondly there are no rules of evidence in the AAT so CASA can trot out the big smear without ever having to justify it ("If it pleases the tribunal, there are other matters which have caused CASA concern about this operator, however, we don't wish to take up the Tribunal's time at this point").

Who is going to advise the Minister and what aviation experience have they had? At least with the Board it was plainly obvious.

The ship's still sinking!
