@blackhand,
The wikileaks story may be old stuff, I certainly heard about the FAA audit and its results - which nowhere near meet the CASA spin - quite some time ago. It may be old but it is still very relevant.
@gobbledock
I very much doubt that the FAA could ever have their heads spun by anything out of CASA. However, they may have been convinced that Australia was going to do something about the many and varied shortcomings. Time for a follow-up?
