This is just so true from 2 post above:
I wonder how many people are willing to take a stand and report unsafe practices. The reality for many whistleblowers is that they will be ostracised by many of their peers and eventually be forced to depart from their employment by their employer on some trumped up charge. The Government organisations charged with investigating and "Fixing" the problem appear to me unwilling or incapable of doing so. Shoot the messenger is alive and well in the Australian Aviation Industry.
CASA seem pre-occupied on personal grudges.
