The Chief Pilot of Pel Air at the time of this accident (John Wikham) is now working for CASA….seriously.
If true, this would represent a huge Conflict of Interest by CASA if it hired the Chief Pilot of the AOC holder being investigated and then had that same person involved in the subsequent CASA investigation of the incident.
Sure guarantees that that the CASA investigation won't find against the company, but rather the Pilot....
Someone please tell me this is not true...
If this was NSW jurisdiction, it would go straight to ICAC...
