Hadn't Barrier just successfully passed an audit two weeks before the December 23rd suspension?
If so, how can an operator go from successful audit result to sudden suspension to winning in court to complete loss of AOC with no chance of rectifying anything?
What does this scandal say about
A) the validity of CASA audits
B) the comparative power of the courts of Australia and that of CASA
C) the fundamental right of innocent until proven guilty in a court of law
D) the security of any operator in the nation
Is this the spark that will ignite the industry against CASA as each pilot and operator finally releases that they could be so targeted at any time?
If every operator in the nation sent a single letter to the Minister express outrage at this travesty of justice surely those CASA individuals involved must be investigated, their biased actions brought to light, their careers thus destroyed and those players removed before they can destroy the next operator ...
In conjunction with operator outrage, surely there is at least one, for it only takes one, courageous individual in CASA who has been privy to and disgusted by his colleagues actions here, and the pain inflicted on the Barrier staff and their families who will blow the whistle and bring the house of cards down on CASA ... The lifetime satisfaction that individual would receive and the courageous example he would leave would forever fill his family with pride and start to stop the tide of rampant aviation destruction.
