Haven't actually seen any of the 'official' reasons why from CASA yet. Nothing on their website, twitter feed or anything. It would seem they were bull
ting when they talked about 'working with Barrier to get back into the air'. It's suprising that after all of this time Barrier is still hanging on. 9 weeks is a hell of a long time for a business to not be operating.
Love them or hate them all the operators in that part of the world play a big part in the local economy. CASA aren't doing anyone any favours by dragging this thing out.
Why aren't Barrier given the opportunity to fix the issues concerning CASA right now and continue operating immediately? Poor form.
Is the death by a thousand cuts intentional? Are they so detached from the industry and so bureaucratic that they don't recognise it, or do they simply not give a monkeys?
