Jeez BH thinks its a system that works.!! FFS.!
Jonker got 'justice' in the end... but at a cost.
Wouldnt it have been better... after the NT Police (av experts?) complaint to TALK to Mr Jonker, and go thru the wherewithall of low level News video missions and decide what both parties require/need/ want, and how to go about it.
And it could all end there, a potential/possible safety issue resolved with a
cooperative approach. But NO, all CASA persons of the ex-police type see is a conviction, and a few brownie points.
People like Haslam & Co are fetishists for the
punitive approach to aviation safety. Every little 'thing' is a crime,Whack em in court... that'll make the world safer from falling aeroplanes. And cost people time, stress and money.
Does CASA give a (non) flying fcuk about that!..of course not... endless time to spend "investigating", generating "work" for themselves, and a bucket of taxpayers dollars to tip on it, successful court outcome or otherwise. And the net benefit to safety is?????
And the net benefit for the industry to look to CASA as a place of integrity, fair dealing, honesty and consistency is an FN BIG NIL.!!
Which means their code of conduct is total crap.
They just do what they want. Whatever it takes. Power crazy
