Tick tock goes the Air Services clock
Jack, your first post was spot on! Describes this bureaucracy perfectly. Under it's bureaucratic dictatorship the frontline is left understaffed, admin and support roles balloon and of course management grow fatter under the leadership of a guy earning $800k per year! Training is sub standard, manpower deficient and the organizations direction abysmal.
Yep, Albo doing a fine job of his portfolio?
Government does a fine job of breeding parasitic management of organizations like Air Services and CASA, and let's not leave out the under resourced ATSB out of the loop.
In the meantime the countdown clock to a major hull loss continues along it's not so merry path, the spinners keep spinning, the politicians and their puppets grow fatter and the bureaucratic pile of steaming pony poo gets smellier.
Out of the three organizations the ATSB won't be the first to cross the 'Race To The Bottom' finish line as they have the privilege of mopping up after the event. The main two contenders for this not so prestigious award are Teams Russell and Skull.
I would like to see both Sandilands and Phelan rewarded for their under appreciated passion for exposing and highlighting the fundamental flaws and incompetence in the Australian aviation governmental bodies. These 'offices of the Minister' are what could be described at best as 'a frightening joke managed by a conglomerate of bureaucratic shysters'.
Tick tock
