AA, CASA, SMS, acronyms and incompetence.
Mr James is a complete turd. Don't you love how this gutless weasel has gone to ground, man up you coward.
The other interesting thing is that under an airlines SMS adequate resources and finances is considered something that is or can be construed as a 'safety risk'. So if AA go bust as well as SAW an Ozjet what safety risks existed and for how long? Worse still, what the hell is the toothless inept Regulator with a capital R doing throughout these AOC holders financial and safety affected existence. If CASA aren't aware of an airlines financial, or lack of financial state, then this proves they are incompetent, out of their depth and incapable of accurately monitoring safety risks within Australlian aviation. If on the other hand CASA are aware of an operators dangerous financial situation what exactly are they doing about it? Sweet f#ck all by the look of things considering how many operators are going tits up!
CASA spent time over at AA not even a fortnight before Turd James empire came crashing down? Why? Was CASA aware of the financial problems or were they there over other matters?
Maybe CASA missed out on some vital clues because they were too busy attending workshops in Montreal or swallowing Turd James grandiose stories and visions of dominance, most of which he initially dreamed up while he was processing excess baggage while working the check-in counters for Ansett at Brissie airport?
And with all of AA's incurred debts of possibly $90 million which has been reported to have commenced in around 2010, why did the capital R regulator not pick up on any if this whilst they were approving AA's AOC, allowing more aircraft to be added to their AOC, approving new operating routes etc?
Yep as I thought, a blind and incompetent Regulator mixed with an AOC holder bleeding money is creating an elevated risk level in itself!!
Good work Skull, most certainly another fine example of 'safe skies for all'.
