Mr Skull,
However, do not be dismayed by our vocal but largely uninformed minority of critics; they are symptomatic of other ills in society. I prefer ‘facts’ when engaged in discussions; not hearsay and tautological rubbish that some others seem to regard as promising material.
Bollocks and grow a spine. No doubt the veins in your neck are pulsating like the heartbeat of a Pollie delving nose first into a trough! If you can't handle criticism then sod off out of the job. Or try this on for size - Pull your people into line, get them to stop bullying industry, act fairly and honestly with integrity (or at least comply with the CASA charter which you currently don't, and that is worth a NCN) and you most likely wouldn't receive half the criticism you receive old friend.
Speaking of troughs,
Meanwhile over at Fort Fumble we hear that the DAS has made himself unavailable for further angry assaults from hostile Senators and he is presently on a jaunt to Montreal....hmm interesting!
Hopefully he will be undertaking a 'please explain' by the robust epicenter of safety sermons - ICAO.
However most likely he will be dining on caviar and fine wines while pondering and musing over aviation's robsustness down under?
ATSB - The pony pooh surrounding the ATSB is laughable and embarrassing. It also proves that Beaker does not understand Annex 13, the Chicago convention or anything relevant to what an ATSB is meant to be. The situation is well beyond repair and the Green Mile can be the only option left for him.
