I am of the opinion that the deterioration began during the days of The CAA and the tradition of "mentorism" has been carried forth until this day.
It saddens me to see that is taken this long for men of good intent during the CAA days to now see the light.
I hope those who know what I'm talking about can now appreciate why I was part of the Kinarney (Jerilderie), Social Club, albeit a very junior member, who had the fortune of flying things most can only dream of today. That was DCA days when the Military ran things and we opposed them.
Why won't we learn?
I've seen the best and worst of aviation regulation in this country.
I'll never see the best ever again.
