Unsafe skies for all
Wow, 2600 non-compliances, what a 'robust' organization!
So it would appear the foundation of CASA's activities are based on the 'Holy SPM'? Interesting considering that manual was slapped together about a decade ago, hardly any Inspector uses it because it is outdated, messy and pretty much a piece of pony pooh, just ask the frontline staff.
It has been tampered with several times over the years and on numerous occasions it has been planned to be re-written but nothing ever comes of it.
It is absolutely obvious that this bureaucracy is completely deficient at oversighting passenger and operational safety. In it's current format they are past their use by date. The holes in the cheese keep getting bigger and the regulator keeps getting bogged down in fancy ass covering speech and wankery of epic proportions.
Ask yourself how a Minister who's only aviation experience is finding the chairmanship lounge, a CASA Board of bureaucrats and lawyers, and a team of Directors which consists of individuals who haven't touched a plane in 20 years and lawyers who have simply never touched a plane could possibly understand what actually happens in the aviation real world?
