Is CASA moribund; only capable of generating pointless, half baked administrative show cases, an endless amount of smoke, mirrors and a defence which reckons they have no responsibility?.The whole sad, sorry edifice seems dedicated only to baffling Senators, Coroners, the Judiciary and any one else who crosses their twisted path.
Correct Kharon, you score a prize - 12 months free subscription to 'Flight Safety Pony Poo'.
That is their quest in life. To create spin and deflection and run from accountabilty. They cannot oversight or manage their own internal issues let alone negate the requirements of the aviation industry in all it's complexities. As an example talk to the new 'CMT participants' and you will learn that it has already disintegrated at the seams. Inspectors not allowed to travel to conduct work 'live in the field' due to 'budget restraints'. They are being advised to regulate via a keyboard! As if that works? Heaps of cost cutting taking place with these funds used to fund the Skulls golden dream of a training center of excellence in Brisbane! I am sure some of the re-budgeted lucre is also paying for senior heirachy to indulge in some additional international hoohah.
Is ATSB emasculated ?; does it appear as the starved child of a loveless union. Bullied and beaten into cringing submission until the will to resist; let alone publish anything vaguely resembling a honest appraisal of the most probable and ranked contributing causes related to the incidents?. The whole sad, sorry edifice seems dedicated only to baffling Senators, Coroners, the Judiciary and any one else who crosses their twisted path.
Correct. And again, Kharon you win a prize - This time you get to pick from the middle shelf. Up for grabs is a free SMS assessment, a ticket to the next CASA safety workshop at Tenterfireld or an oepning day pass to the Brisbane Field Office 'Center for Training Excellence'!
And yes the ATSB has been raped by bureaucrats who have recategorized incident/accident rankings, added some bureacratic garnish such as 8.7 investigations completed per 1000 hours investigative time, or some similar styled number fluffing techniques. The heart and soul of the ATSB has always been it's non politically stymied Investigators and the quality work they attempt to undertake on a shoe string frontline budget while being dominated by the Ministers whips.
Is the ASA apparently suffering a combination of Casaititis and Atsbaphobia ?. At least the front line troops may hold their heads up. They have to; highly visible, easily located and providing an endless supply of ready to hand cannon fodder for the speedy abrogation of all responsibility. The whole sad, sorry edifice seems dedicated only to baffling Senators, Coroners, the Judiciary and any one else who crosses their twisted path.
Again we have a winner !! Kharon, step right up and claim Australian Aviations Brown Logie Award. The Minister (rightful owner) is happy to pass it on personally!
Sadly ASA have been infected by a host parasite called
Bureaucrat****is, a disease that is flourishing within Australia and spreading at an alarming rate within aviation and infastructure. The disease, which has been prevalent for eons within all walks of governemnt at all levels has become more recently discernable as the outbreak spreads uncontained. Symtoms often include the existence of lies and deception, spin, mathematical perentages banded about, overseas trips for cure finding missions, a distortion of the tongue in which words such as robust, underpinning, overarching and 'worlds best practise' are often spewed forth violently and reptitively.
We only need an axeman to do the job; even only if for so small a reward as ensuring the travelling public may travel at night and have a fair chance of getting off at the other end before the pubs close.
There is a high likelihood that the end result will be the occurence of
TICK TOCK unless Axeman Xenophon can use his wood chopping skills to cut down this pillar of pony poo.
