I would like to provide a contrasting example of the medical aspects of the Hemple and CASA situation.
A close friend was in dispute (court) with the company he worked for. A Director of that company approached CASA and asked that the pilots medical be "pulled". CASA subsequently did so. This information is available in court documents. The reasons CASA gave for revoking the medical are dubious at best.
It seems that CASA knew that Barry Hemple had a serious medical problem yet allowed him a medical and PPL.
Another example of CASA inconsistency and old boy networks.
