Musical chairs, troughs, cmteam bonding and general shennanigans
Well well the chairs become fewer and the music stops?
More changes to Fort Fumbles structure this week. The technical operations group has been disbanded and no longer reports into the safety oversight branch under the Skull. Those national resources of dangerous goods inspectors, cabin inspectors and other specialist inspectors shall be dispersed into the field offices. Also international operations reports now to none other than the voodoo witchdoctors department. But don't worry, left behind on level 3 are some consultants who from good reports are doing the usual which is swallowing tax payer money while they wear the business glasses and scurry around the corridors carrying a clip board, looking busy, palming off work to others while blurting out safety pearls of wisdom they have pinched from the real experts! Hell, more trips to Montreal must be on the cards?
One of the funniest reports to date with the new CMT process is how allegedly the field office managers have told Mr Skull that CMT is an amazing success story and has been passionately, even robustly embraced by the inspectorate, when in reality it is despised and the true facts have been hidden from the Chief Angry Man. A number of inspectors are rumoured to be assigned to oversight aircraft and airworthiness technical areas that they know nothing about, e.g GA inspectors oversighting 737/320 operations for starters!
And of course all are being made to reduce travel, do less surveillance and regulate via keyboard and no doubt YouTube. Gotta cut costs to fund the Training Center Of Excellence!! Somebody better wake the hawaiin shirt wearer and tell him that no matter what the CASA fantasy is they will never ever be able to run a training center, hold a highly regarded reputation for quality and world class standards like the Singaporeans do! Christ if you can't change the regulations within 23 years how in the name of pony pooh can you provide training to industry? I mean it was a nice thought and obviously a way to create an income stream which in turn could be used towards pumping up executive salaries and bonuses, fund more jollies and wank fests, bring in a few more former employees on consultant rated and pay for a few more PHD's? Yes indeed the trough needs topping up, what to do? What to do?
I also heard a rumor that they have estimated it will cost another $45 million to finish off the regulatory reform program! Now that is one giant, fat mega consuming trough. A trough so large in potential that I simply cannot fit a picture of enough pigs on this page!!!
