Creampuff, I cannot let your last post go unanswered regarding what I would have CASA do to the engineer in question and that particular MR.
This bloke did call for the blood of the engineer and, you guessed it, he (the engineer), was SUMMARILY slapped on the wrist. Other similar situations have had the full wrath of CASA descend upon engineers (see again the Phelan papers), and they are out of business.
INCONSISTENCY !
If the system is so black and white, WHY ?
THEN a company search discovers a direct link between the engineering company and the top end of the CASA food chain.
CO INCIDENCE ?
This is not ignorance on the part of the person in question, and it has the hallmarks of a CASA set up. It is a lack of probity and integrity that borders on the corrupt.
Given this, now NO I would not call for a suspension or licence removal, waste of time actually.
There are a lot of other people who don't support the system, like me, but try our best to work within it. When something like this happens it only reinforces our already jaundiced opinion of things. Chigago Convention or not.
I wish we could all depend on it for support, not prosecution of varying degrees and I guess until it happens, people like you and I will be at odds with each other.
Things have change since the old DCA days, I think for the worse.
It is the Office of legal Counsel and their "ILK" that are the problem, not the solution as you seem to imply.
I appreciate your reply however and I did read it vigourously.
