One major issue is that CASA is weak as piss. They have an inordinate amount of rules of regs that everyone has to follow only to then grant the big players exemptions to the same rules when it suits them. Either you have a set of regs that everyone follows or you don't.
It is time that CASA starts regulating and enforcing the ENTIRE industry not just pumping the GA operators.
A good example in recent times would be the ridiculous amount of engine failures QF had. If a small regional or a GA charter outfit had 10 engine failures in a couple of years CASA would be pulling the AOC.
